Don’t Abandon Ship
Peg by peg knocked out of position
Day by day brings more deposition
Tick, tock, tick tock
Watching time tick away on the clock
Wasting away, with what to say
Don’t abandon ship
Stay on board
Plow through this storm
Eventually it’ll transform
And everything will be restored
Just don’t abandon ship
Horns honking, sirens screaming
Out of the dark come lights beaming
At the Blink of the eye
Didn’t even see him passing on by
Add it on the list, another blow
Don’t abandon ship
Stay on board
Plow through this storm
Eventually it’ll transform
And everything will be restored
Just don’t abandon ship
Peg by peg being replaced
Day by day each should be faced
Tick Tock, tick tock
Stepping away from the clock
Changing ways, living like it’s the last day
Ducks quacking, kids screaming
Out of the water they come with smiles beaming
At the blink of the eye
Life is passing right on by
Add it to the list of things to show
Smooth sailing on this ship
Staying on board
Exploring the deep blue
Animals, clear skies what a view
Going on to the unexplored
Just smooth sailing on this ship
