The winds, the winds
How busy they were
Rushing through the port
Dancing with yachts everywhere
Excited for the journey
Did my sail stretch its way
“Ahoy, good people”
I’ll be gone today
Dear maps, dear compass
Which direction shall I sail?
Too many places I’ve lived
I wish I could find a destined trail
The place I belong
Where might it be?
Unsure to decide
The nation staying with me
Sailing the oceans
Helped me carry on
Living my life
On no-man’s-land I was drawn
Searching and searching
Bound to find
The frustration and anger
Forcing life behind
A voice within
Oh sailor let it be
Wherever you go
You’ll be merry
For only you
Will master your speech
Alone your beliefs
Being the anthem you’ll preach
The pulsing city
Your mind will be
The body will define
Your vast country
The charm of a sailor
Your culture will respect
Along the hoisted flag
With the nature you project
The high ruling judge
You are in your court
Living history reads
The knowledge you support
For the way you are
So is your realm
A world where you rule
And you’ll feel at home
So carry me waters
Where it pleases the winds
For at home I am
And a new journey begins
