Closer To Heaven
Before I'll be going to sleep
without hearing the seagulls shriek,
let me pray and be truly meek:
asking my Lord not to be weak...
trusting the calmness of the deep.
And should I stray like a lost sheep,
I will not fear the waves beneath;
closer to Heaven, where stars peak,
this captain won't abandon his fleet...
should danger foretell a defeat!
