Roger Roger Poet Lyric

Closer To Fine

When you see me sailing my boat on a stormy water
during a stormy weather,
that means I am closer to fine. 
When you see me walking calmly 
in the middle of a street, so busy,
that means I am closer to fine. 

I am closer to fine like a ship that almost came into sinking. 
I am closer to fine like an ambler almost hit by a car raging. 
I am closer to fine like a tree almost struck by a lightning. 
I am closer to fine like a heart almost pierced by a bullet speeding. 
I am closer to fine like a vein almost ripped by a blade slashing. 
I'm closer to fine. 

When the storms of yesterday almost blow my hope for tomorrow 
and the sun hides behind the clouds below,
I'm closer to fine. 
When the shadow of darkness eclipses the sunshine
and the light of new morning is difficult to find,
I'm closer to fine. 

For I must breath my life ahead 
even if I am half-dead,
I must be closer to fine. 
I must fight my war without blinking 
even if I'm profusely bleeding,
I must be closer to fine.
