The Ship in the Port
Some say
Our dreams
Are a distant road
Down which
Our hearts
Would like to go
But I
Have always
Stayed in place
Under that old illusion
That it's safe
He said:
"The ship in port
Is the safer one
But it's not the reason it was made"
So forgive me if I wander off
And forgive me more if I just stay
Sing another song for the lost ones
We're the ones who need it the most
Everytime you run it'll cost you
But it doesn't stop us running
If a coward dies a thousand times
Then there's a graveyard in my head
'Cause it took me years to say the words
For you did not even need said
Sing another for the lost ones
We're the ones that need it the most
Nothing that your fear is forgotten
It follows you around like...
Then everything danced
To a stranger tune
And we found our song
And we found our truth
And now that we know
It's that we always knew
Farewell with the change
We were born into
And as we danced among
The ashes of our lives
We laughed it off
And then we burned our tiny worlds
We found the ocean
Just beyond those bitter walls
Our dreams
Are a distant road
Down which
Our hearts
Would like to go
But I
Have always
Stayed in place
Under that old illusion
That it's safe
He said:
"The ship in port
Is the safer one
But it's not the reason it was made"
So forgive me if I wander off
And forgive me more if I just stay
Sing another song for the lost ones
We're the ones who need it the most
Everytime you run it'll cost you
But it doesn't stop us running
If a coward dies a thousand times
Then there's a graveyard in my head
'Cause it took me years to say the words
For you did not even need said
Sing another for the lost ones
We're the ones that need it the most
Nothing that your fear is forgotten
It follows you around like...
Then everything danced
To a stranger tune
And we found our song
And we found our truth
And now that we know
It's that we always knew
Farewell with the change
We were born into
And as we danced among
The ashes of our lives
We laughed it off
And then we burned our tiny worlds
We found the ocean
Just beyond those bitter walls
