Life Is A Boat

Life is a boat 
That travels on open sea 
Just make sure you're afloat 
Be bold and be free 
The whole world is for you to see 

Row your boat against the tide 
At times, you need it to succeed 
But lower the flag of your pride 
When your belly needs to feed 
With the waves you must ride 

When the ocean is still 
Learn to lay and rest your head 
There may be no bounty for a kill 
When the wind is not ahead 
There is no glorious tale to spill 

Learn to row when wind is tough 
For in adversity lies the glory 
Learn to row when wave is rough 
It's the ticket to your story 
Or the world on you may laugh
