Blanket for a Sail
Navigating Life's Seas with Faith: A Blanket for a Sail
Lyrics
Way out on the ocean
Introducing the setting: way out on the ocean.
Far beyond the seven seas
Emphasizing the vastness of the journey beyond the seven seas.
There's a tiny little boat
Describing a small boat on the ocean.
Faith is keeping her afloat
Highlighting the role of faith in keeping the boat afloat.
And a tiny little skipper with his worn and tattered coat
Introducing the skipper, emphasizing his humble appearance.
You see the law of the ocean
Stating a principle, the unchanging law of the ocean.
Days you shall never fail
Expressing confidence that certain days will never bring failure.
Use your heart as a rudder
Metaphorically advising to use the heart as a rudder for life's journey.
Faith as a compass
Encouraging reliance on faith as a guiding compass.
And a blanket for a sail
Introducing the metaphor of a blanket as a sail for life's voyage.
Sleep for the weary
Suggesting the need for rest, invoking the concept of sleep.
Dreams for us all
Expressing the universality of dreams for everyone.
Rest your head on a pillow
Encouraging relaxation and storytelling with a pillow as support.
And I'll tell you a tale
Promising a tale, creating a sense of anticipation.
Use your heart as a blanket
Reiterating the metaphor, advising to use the heart as a comforting blanket.
And a blanket for a sail
Affirming the importance of the metaphorical blanket as a sail.
Row, row, row your boat gently through a dream
Using a classic nursery rhyme to evoke a dreamlike quality.
Way out on the ocean
Repeating the initial description of the ocean setting.
Far beyond the seven seas
Reiterating the vastness of the journey beyond seven seas.
There's a tiny little boat
Restating the presence of a small boat on the ocean.
Faith is keeping her afloat
Reemphasizing the role of faith in sustaining the boat.
And a tiny little skipper with his worn and tattered coat
Repeating the introduction of the humble skipper.
You see the law of the ocean
Recalling the unchanging law of the ocean.
Days you shall never fail
Reiterating the confidence in days that will not lead to failure.
Use your heart as a rudder
