We that are born,
Born unbidden unto turgid seas,
Born of the fruits of flotsam folly, or
Born of the jumps for jetsam joy

We that are young,
Tossed in an ocean of a mother's tears,
Lost in the moment of a mother's loving eyes,
Eyes that forgive all sins

We that are weak,
That fall upon hard times,
That fall prey to sharks,
That fall to pray upon our knees

We that lack wisdom,
To recall our own creation,
To accept our own destruction,
Or accept ourselves for who we are

From our youth we gain wisdom,
From our weakness we gain strength,
And through all of our days on this ocean voyage
We are proud to be what we were born to be
