again I am idle, time is like the tidal waves
some days are calm, other days the waves rage
so far I have departed too seas uncharted
now as my spirit fades like the wind
I ask why I started
I know the way, the course has been made clear
theres no turning back when retreats your only fear
during this forced pause
I stare into the distance towards the distant shores
my cause has survived even if patience had me tried
my eyes are fixed, the motive isn't moving
I'm sure to reach the shores, even if my motion is of a slow cruising
I'm confusing myself with distractions
a fool is easily attracted to deadly attractions
the land marks strike the strings of my heart
but I can't depart from this course I chose to chart.
so many sights I past as I look thro the spyglass
alass the chance has gone
I tell my self "the seas is where I belong"
the stars, they keep me entertained
the stories they could tell would make sailors afraid
the waves they do the speaking
I've witnessed sailors swim away from what they went seeking
