Do Not Give Up

The ship under full sail The ocean murmurs an old tale Nearby cutting through water is a whale The fresh air enters your lungs as you inhale The huge albatross spreads its wings The wind in the sails sings It tells the story of pirate kings That hid a treasure of gold and diamond rings The width of the ocean is vast Sometimes billows so big they can shutter strongest mast Their power on the ship will cast And no one knows how long the storm will last The storm in sails can make a gap But important thing is not to give up Even when it seems like you are sailing into deathtrap Even if you have to fight with the sea for every scrap Compared to vastness of the soul The very ocean is small like a tadpole The no need of point of reference evolution from view of beyond soul Tell us that we have something even Gods should extol
