How can I be thrown into the vast seas?
These limitless waters of freedom
No-one taught me to swim in these unknown waters
You expect me to teach myself
You guided me here to my doom
To days, weeks, months of confusion
You taught me to be aware of this barren land
Never to survive in it
Now I stand alone
Starving and on my own
The powerful sun watches me
As I start to wither and fade away

How can I be thrown into the vast seas?
These limitless waters of freedom
No-one taught me to swim in these unknown waters
You expect me to teach myself
You guided me here to my doom
To days, weeks, months of confusion
You taught me to be aware of this barren land
Never to survive in it
Now I stand alone
Starving and on my own
The powerful sun watches me
As I start to wither and fade away
