Guide the Ship Part 2

I know I keep on doing wrong moves I keep failing...falling in a whirlpool of racketing frustration I'm trying all my tries...so save yourself from drowning Keep yourself entertained...there's no use of frowning I guess I have to feel My way out of trouble You'll see what I have to show Oh look! Look how the shores Rise up in woe...blocking the view of sweet sunshine It shows that light will always be with us Though the raving waves swallow us alive I guess I have to feel Our way out of trouble If you look even closer, You will see fascinating colors Shaping and forming in the life-giving sea You'll see what I have to show Finally we both see A ship row on top of envious, captivity-like waves Flowing gently and keeping itself away From the lifeless,  bottomless water You'll see what I have to show I could see color brushed against an island sky  I grow more curious than ever Where did that ship sail off to? My mind is wanting to comprehend in this unsettling matter So I have any idea of guiding? I'm no skilled sailor or even Have the knowledge to lead  The ship to its destiny... It may tip over a couple of times Here I am...lying down...complaining harshly I guess this is my farewell to you, Tackling expedition It only takes a courageous try To guide the ship and say goodbye To the quarrel-stirring waves I scream: "Behave, you water balloon head! Go on and dry up till your dead!" And here I am again Roaming and spacing out Who knows where... I wonder in despair This task unwillingly pulls me in I'm here after the expedition, Knocking on the entrance corridor  To learn some new sailor techniques  I'm here to simply learn A tip to replenish  The possibility of the ship Tipping and going overboard This time I shouldn't discard This remarkable opportunity
