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
