There's a Message In a Bottle
There's a bottle in the ocean
which keeps drifting to and fro
And this bottle in the ocean
Holds the secret of my soul
There 's a bottle in the ocean
with a message to outpour
But this message holds a whisper
that 's concealed forevermore
Above kingdoms of Sirens
and their cursing song
This bottle floats and flow
It would not burst nor spill a verse
My suppressed mysteries
will not be known.
There's a bottle in the ocean
It is carried by wild waves
There are whirlwinds that surround it
It will never reach safe bays
It would never reach the sandshore
It will never reach a hand
It keeps turning in the ocean
Far from the promised land
Far from the man made castles
Far from the sun~kissed beach
Far from rose~scented petals
and far from conquered dreams.
