I
Sitting next to the old man, holding his hand
Looking out at the sea from the sand
Remembering all the stories he can
He tells me about ships and sailing and being a man
II
Through my ages, my Father is by my side
In high times and during low tide
He gave me my life
He sees me through my strife
III
A wise man came to me in my sleep
He explained that the devastation for which I weep
Must first be imparted, and only in that moment
Can I be thrusted into enlightenment
IV
Pain makes way to paradise
And love reveals in sacrifice
The Universal Spirit speaks through people I meet
Life is Sweet, so very very sweet
