Lost at sea, she gazed
At the stars above, she prayed
To no-one at all, she sighed
Touching the waves
That rolled through the night
“Take my hand, my child”
The old man smiled, “for my god
Has spared your life, and pulled
You up from the flood
That drowned all of your world”
“No, kind sir, I’ll stay
As I am, for your boat, though great and tall
Is blown just like mine, and like me
You will build
Where the wind lets you land"
"And these gales of hail we brave
Are ours to face alone
With our own compasses we hold
In our eyеs
To find our own light”
At the stars above, she prayed
To no-one at all, she sighed
Touching the waves
That rolled through the night

That drowned all of your world”

"And these gales of hail we brave
Are ours to face alone
With our own compasses we hold
In our eyеs
To find our own light”
