The Sailor
Sailing Through Sacrifice: A Heart's Journey Across Oceans
Lyrics
I can't help the way I am
I acknowledge that I cannot change my inherent nature.
A strong heart with a mission in an ocean sailing man
I possess a resilient heart with a purpose, akin to a sailor navigating the vast ocean.
I can't help where I've been
I have no control over my past experiences.
The lessons life has given me, the ocean that I've seen
I've learned valuable lessons from life, symbolized by the oceans I've traversed.
And though it may be sweet
Despite challenges, life has its moments of sweetness.
A constant earth beneath me
I always have a stable foundation beneath me.
A lover in my reach
I have a lover within my grasp.
Oh my love
An expression of love.
Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Satisfaction is anticipated as I pursue my destined path.
Oh so true
Affirmation of the truth in the commitment to the journey.
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you
The most challenging sacrifice is being far away from a loved one.
Dropped anchor near a shore
Arriving at a destination, finding a place to anchor.
A land of gold and silver and strange alluring whores
The new land is described as rich, with enticing temptations.
New and unknown things
Encountering unfamiliar and intriguing experiences.
A carnival existence a freedom fit for kings
Life is compared to a carnival, offering freedom fit for royalty.
But heavy is my head
Acknowledging the burden of responsibility.
Your eyes a thousand miles away
A sense of longing, with the loved one's gaze far away.
And me not in your bed
The sailor is not physically present with the loved one.
Oh my love
Reiteration of the love theme.
Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Anticipation of satisfaction while staying true to destiny.
Oh so true
Repeating the sacrifice of being far from a loved one.
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you
Now sunlight hits the sea
Describing the positive aspects of the journey: sunlight, a set course, strong winds, and luck.
My coarse is set, the winds are strong and luck is here with me
The sailor is well-prepared and fortunate.
See I've worked for this my life
Highlighting the dedication and effort invested in reaching this point in life.
But sadness plagues the sailor
An undercurrent of sadness accompanies the sailor, often leaving love behind.
Always leaving love behind
Oh my love
-Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Expectation of satisfaction remains, while destiny is pursued.
Oh so true
Reiteration of the genuine commitment to the chosen path.
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you
Restating the challenge of being far away from a loved one as the harshest sacrifice.
