Guide the Ship Part 2
I know I keep on doing wrong moves
I keep failing...falling in a whirlpool of racketing frustration
I'm trying all my tries...so save yourself from drowning
Keep yourself entertained...there's no use of frowning
I guess I have to feel
My way out of trouble
You'll see what I have to show
Oh look! Look how the shores
Rise up in woe...blocking the view of sweet sunshine
It shows that light will always be with us
Though the raving waves swallow us alive
I guess I have to feel
Our way out of trouble
If you look even closer,
You will see fascinating colors
Shaping and forming in the life-giving sea
You'll see what I have to show
Finally we both see
A ship row on top of envious, captivity-like waves
Flowing gently and keeping itself away
From the lifeless,
bottomless water
You'll see what I have to show
I could see color brushed against an island sky
I grow more curious than ever
Where did that ship sail off to?
My mind is wanting to comprehend in this unsettling matter
So I have any idea of guiding?
I'm no skilled sailor or even
Have the knowledge to lead
The ship to its destiny...
It may tip over a couple of times
Here I am...lying down...complaining harshly
I guess this is my farewell to you,
Tackling expedition
It only takes a courageous try
To guide the ship and say goodbye
To the quarrel-stirring waves
I scream:
"Behave, you water balloon head!
Go on and dry up till your dead!"
And here I am again
Roaming and spacing out
Who knows where... I wonder in despair
This task unwillingly pulls me in
I'm here after the expedition,
Knocking on the entrance corridor
To learn some new sailor techniques
I'm here to simply learn
A tip to replenish
The possibility of the ship
Tipping and going overboard
This time I shouldn't discard
This remarkable opportunity
