When A Ship Sets Sail


My ship sets sail, it sails out to the sea I am the captain, so the captain I shall be I command no orders, my ship sails like I breath The water so perfect, a ship just like mine sails in the reflection I see The moon lights our way, a threatening storm quickens our pace The moment of perfection is here to stay Darkness surrounds us but color I still see The colors are engraved in my memory The water mirrors every detail in the sky We sail through stars, this voyage is divine The waves could tower over our sails, we will stand strong, this ship will prevail Clouds could scatter through the sky and we'd still have a starry night Just because the moon may not shine through, it's still there, that has been proved We sail all night, further out we go Our destination may not even be close But that's okay this life is a dream An unseen dream that means everything to me This place my ship is meant to go, is so far away but so very close There's no coordinates, directions, or promise of existence but I am the captain, I will continue to sail I will sail until this voyage is unveiled I am the captain, this ship is a part of me I sail with God, I want him to see, how the Sea creates beliefs This night I describe, could never be relived Every moment here brings me closer to the perfect end
