Masses of Water

We raised a tent in your garden
Meager practice but still
We cut ourselves in our palms
To show dedication and iron will
Open water charts
Coordinates and safe havens
We learnt it all by heart
But what could prepare us for these waves?

It all begins right here with these masses of water
An engine of hopes and dismay
Here we stand with our maps and our numbers
But no logic applies here
We'll be safe and sound
Ulysses, Orion - Show us direction
The game of lost and found begins as we breach this
Line of protection right here

Spoilt and bred to prevail
We walked with inherited grace
We learnt out postures and ways
Played grand pianos in gilded chains
We made our way to our riding school
By the light of your mobile phone
Saddled Silver and Clover
And blazed off into the great unknown

It all begins right here with these masses of water
An engine of hopes and dismay
Here we stand with our maps and our numbers
But no logic applies here
We'll be safe and sound
Ulysses, Orion - Show us direction
The game of lost and found begins as we breach this
Line of protection right here
