Ships

Ocean waves crash Cry Salty air stings your eyes Some nights the lighthouse just passes over you. But the water that drowns you now Also holds up ships And slips silently between fingers Never ending Indecisive We have some patchwork to do. Dear get your ship sailing again Remember the breeze through your hair And the promise on your lips Be bold. Open each clenched fist slowly now. Let the ocean wash away your troubles And set free your pain Breathe it all in. Breathe it all out. We all need a white flag sometimes, Don't hesitate to raise it. Because we are never alone When there are ships in the night.
