Soul’s Art

It's the art which steers the course and swells the sails of the ship
I don't know where it's going
But I'm right here on this trip
Through the waves with fickle tide
Black Pearl won't meet her Waterloo
She swims on these letters in black and white

It's the art which gives me backbone
to set a sign today
for the revolution we have left
too long behind the shade
The time has come to raise the flag
for the change in our history
It's more than letters to me

I'm deep in love with all the lines under my skin
You keep me warm over those cold nights at sea
You are the truth that I can't hide
In the letters black and white

I hear the ship's bell calling out my name
Every time I seem to hit the reef and need to turn the wheel again
It's the art who makes me remember
All the words I'm running from
You are the booze to loose my tongue

I'm deep in love with all the lines under my skin
You keep me warm over those cold nights at sea
You are the truth that I can't hide
In your arms I feel alive
