Drifting at sea
No land I see
All that I see
Is sky and sea
Hull’s got a crack
Main sail is torn
Compass has lost the will to spin
Seagull above
Gliding with ease
How does it feel
To fly so free?
Someday perhaps
I’ll be reborn
I’ll be a seagull flying free
Trapped on a boat
Hope is remote
Inside a jar I’ll float my note:
Sweetheart I miss you and
Mother I love you and
Father I thank you for my life
Dolphins at play
With me, please stay
Show me the way
And I’ll obey
Seagull above
Soaring so sure
Guide me along
To my destined shore
