Through the days of passing years
I walk alone with all my thoughts
Softly suffocating as the
Numbers climb
I imagine better days
Taking solace in the hope of gently
Conquering the vastness of the
Oceans where I float
Among the endless waters crashing
Suddenly appears a boat
To my surprise a cry for help
Emerges from my throat
And I say
Hey
I hope your boat is not destroying
All our friends who love to swim below
And they say
Hey
It's just a simple rowboat made for
All who simply need a place to go
So I say
Hey
I hope you will take me to
A destination far away from home
And they say
Hey
Hope aboard and join us in a
Journey to wherever we may go
The vessel found a distant shore
Forgotten and remote
We mapped the maze of hidden trails and
Mountains capped with snow
The sick are never hungry now
The air is filled with sound
When heavy weather comes we run to
Tunnels underground
I found a place among the souls who
Offered me a rope
Thankful for the day my journey
Came across the boat
So if you're feeling cast away and drifting
Off to parts unknows
Keep scanning the horizon for a
Vessel will be shown
And you'll say
Hey
I hope your boat is not destroying
All our friends who love to swim below
And they say
Hey
It's just a simple rowboat made for
All who simply need a place to go
So you say
Hey
I hope you will take me to
A destination far away from home
And they say
Hey
Hope aboard and join us in a
Journey to wherever we may go
