Sailing, Yes sailing changes everything How you live and how you die How you feel and why you cry Yes sailing, Sailing changes everything The nights were long, the days were short If only they all had made it to port Yes sailing, Sailing changes everything All for just a moment of fame Yes sailing, Sailing will never ever be the same Amen
I wrote this poem dedicated to all the people who died in the Sydney to Hobart [Australia] yacht race on Boxing Day in 1998
