Sea or Shore, Sink or Sail
Dear Change,
The father said unto the son
You must flee this stagnant shore
you should sail away and let free instincts to explore
Heed my warning and fly away
this shore is not for you, go out to change today
The mother said unto the daughter
Never stray to the changing sea
your fleet of friends is its hidden fee
Stay here upon the stable shore
let change hurt you no more
The children cried unto the parents
I must sink before I'm taught to sail
I must walk before I learn to run
No simple lesson shall teach me to fail
Nor will they show me when I have won
Let go and I'll choose sea or shore
I'll bring intuition to the fore
Today I won't be shackled
Today I won't be free
Today it's time to let me be
I will go and you shall see
Today my fate follows me
