A 1,000 sailors have nothing against a few well groomed tailors However a rich man could not last a second in a pile of quick sand The call to sea is the same as that of a call to a tree They are both living and dead, Their growth is the giving bread One serves their master at the bay, the other spends time selling hay The water is fresh in both cases and both men have seen many faces A sailor never retires, but a tailor does as such For when he is no longer a tailor, he considers himself a failure Yet he continues on, looking for a cause, never taking a pause Until one day, walking by the shore he sees something so beautiful his eye begin to sore So he takes his riches, buys a ship, summons a crew, and plans his trip Heading to nowhere in sight, only to see the beauty so bright And so the man was once a tailor, he is now a sailor

A Sailor vs A Tailor
A 1,000 sailors have nothing against a few well groomed tailors However a rich man could not last a second in a pile of quick sand The call to sea is the same as that of a call to a tree They are both living and dead, Their growth is the giving bread One serves their master at the bay, the other spends time selling hay The water is fresh in both cases and both men have seen many faces A sailor never retires, but a tailor does as such For when he is no longer a tailor, he considers himself a failure Yet he continues on, looking for a cause, never taking a pause Until one day, walking by the shore he sees something so beautiful his eye begin to sore So he takes his riches, buys a ship, summons a crew, and plans his trip Heading to nowhere in sight, only to see the beauty so bright And so the man was once a tailor, he is now a sailor
