Sailing

Upon a sinking ship I sail,
out here on the sea.
None think that I will prevail.
They say I won't succeed.
The time has come for everyone,
to see what I can be.
And clearly I will go sailing,
once more.

There was a time I was so proud,
to do what I could do.
In my prime I was so loud,
out here on the blue.
One more day the world will say,
that I will not come through.
But I will go sailing,
once more.

Here I once was superman,
here I used to fly.
But there’s nothing more they'd rather see,
than see a hero die.
So now I quit,
I sink my ship,
With a tear up in one eye.
And I will go sailing.
no more.

For years Iv sat in this dark room,
Dreaming about the sea.
The thought of my decisions made,
have always haunted me.
And so I die a broken man,
I pray death will set me free!
so I may go sailing,
once more.
