Young Sailor
Lost at Sea: A Young Sailor's Quest for Freedom
Lyrics
I left my crew in England, many a year ago
I abandoned my fellow sailors in England, many years ago
On a makeshift boat with no life vest or no rope
I set off on an improvised boat without a life vest or rope
I was plain seekin' for the wild and free
I was simply searching for a life that is untamed and unrestrained
For I’m just a young sailor that’s a little lost at sea
As a young sailor, I find myself adrift and confused at sea
I’ve been ailing in my cabin, riding the waves of life
I've been struggling in my cabin, navigating the challenges of life
Don’t know if night is day or if day is night
I'm disoriented, unable to distinguish between night and day
Tell me where I am. Tell me where I’ll be.
Seeking guidance on my location and destination
For I’m just a young sailor, a little lost at sea
As a young sailor, I feel lost and aimless at sea
I’ve tried with all my might to stop this rocking bow
I've exerted all my strength to steady this rocking boat
Prayed to the Lord above to throw an anchor down
Praying to God for stability, comparing it to dropping an anchor
I hope I’m a'sailing somewhere by Galilee
Expressing hope to be sailing near Galilee, a place of spiritual significance
For I’m just a young sailor that’ a little lost at sea
Despite efforts, I remain a young sailor lost at sea
One day if all me sails point home to all me boys
If my sails guide me back home to my comrades one day
Where streets are filled with laughter
Envisioning a joyful return where streets echo with laughter
And the bars are filled with noise
Bars filled with noise, anticipating a lively reunion
Will they remember well? Do they even think of me?
Questioning if they will remember or even think about me
For I’m just a young sailor, a little lost at sea
Acknowledging my status as a young sailor lost at sea
I left my crew in England, many a year ago
Reiterating the act of leaving my crew in England years ago
On a makeshift boat with no life vest or no rope
Recalling the departure on a makeshift boat without safety gear
I was plain seekin' for the wild and free
Stating the initial motive of seeking a wild and free life
For I’m just a young sailor that’s a little lost at sea
Reiterating the identity as a young sailor adrift at sea
