The Family

She stands there in her ragged clothes, every night without fail Just staring at the ocean waves, her heart beats with every swell This fair young maiden all alone, stood on the waters edge Nobody can see the pain in her eyes or the thoughts going round her head She calls their names but all the time the wind blows it away She waits & waits just calling, hoping they will come home one day! The last time that she saw them they were sailing in the sea Running away from a country in trouble, risking their life just to flee Fifty people in just one boat, packed tightly to the core Holding onto her love and her only child slowly heading for the shore, Thinking of the better life she wants to give her child No one noticed the weather that was growing very wild She holds her child close to her chest, praying they make dry land The boat is slowly sinking and there is no help at hand As the water slowly carries all their prayers away The waves get big & bolder and the lands too far away! Into the watery darkness she starts to sink real quick Moving her loving baby as high as she could get But nothing can help this family as they sink into the sea No help is being sent and no one is there to see They only wanted a better life from all the death & war That's why they tried to sail into a better friendly shore No one survived the deadly sea, no one got to the land The last thing that she saw was her love trying to grab her hand So every night she waits and calls no matter what the cost Her ghost will be there every night till she finds what she has lost
