A Distant Light Across The Sea

I.

In darkness,

on wave-bent seas,

this boat of mine

takes on water

but stays afloat.

II.

Storm and sea

may batter me

and shred my sails.

But I see the distant light.

III.

Switch to engine

and through these waves,

I ford my path.

My dread turns to hope

as I know

Everything will be alright.

IV.

Once I get this boat

headed

toward that light,

the storm won't have

me in its bind.

V.

But the waves

will keep me down

they'll keep me from hope.

And I dread

that I will fail.

VI.

But the the light shows me the way.

And hope returns.

Soon, I will be home.

Yes, I will be home.
