The Ship In Port
Navigating Dreams: The Uncharted Waters of Life
Lyrics
Some say our dreams are a distant road
Some believe our aspirations lead to distant paths.
Down which our hearts would like to go
Our hearts desire to traverse those paths.
But I have always stayed in place
The speaker has remained stationary.
Under that old illusion that it's safe
Despite a false sense of security in staying put.
You said the ship in port is the safer one
The idea that safety lies in a docked ship is challenged.
But it's not the reason it was made
The ship's purpose is not just safety.
So forgive me if I wander off
The speaker may deviate from the expected path.
And forgive me more if I just stay
Asking forgiveness for either wandering or staying.
Sing another song for the lost ones
Encouraging a song for those who are lost.
We're the ones who need it the most
Those lost are the ones who need the song the most.
Every time you run it'll cost ya'
Running has consequences, but it doesn't deter us.
But it doesn't stop us running
Despite costs, running continues.
If a coward dies a thousand times
A coward's internal struggles are frequent and intense.
Then there's a graveyard in my head
The speaker's mind is a graveyard due to repeated fear.
'Cause it took me years to say the words
Years passed before expressing unnecessary words.
That you did not even need said
Words that weren't needed in the first place.
Sing another song for the lost ones
Advocating another song for the lost, emphasizing their need.
We're the ones that need it the most
Reiteration that the lost ones require the song the most.
Nothin' that you fear is forgotten
Fears linger and are not easily forgotten.
It follows you around like
Fear continues to follow like a persistent shadow.
Then everything danced to a stranger tune
Life took an unexpected turn to an unfamiliar melody.
And we found our song and we found our truth
Discovering one's true self and purpose.
And now that we know it's
A revelation of what was always known.
That we always knew
Confirmation of inherent knowledge.
Farewell to the chains we were born into
Farewell to the constraints of birth.
And as we danced among the ashes of our lives
Dancing amidst the ruins of past lives.
We laughed it off
Laughing off difficulties and challenges.
And then we burned our tiny
Burning down limited realities.
Worlds and found the ocean
Discovering vast possibilities beyond confinements.
Just beyond those paper walls
Breaking through metaphorical barriers into a new realm.
