I personally believe that life can be summed up in one big seafaring analogy
Imagine with me that humanity is one collective fleet
We are born on boats rowed off the coast to float till we find our feet
Once we got our sea legs lightly we'll tread off to find our destiny
There will be steady streams, stormy seas, and seasons of bleak and heat
Cast out to the deep the net will reap a poverty or a plenty
Surrounded by ocean carrying the notion, feelings of being alone
Tossed by unwavering waves with no escape and no sense of control
There is no way out… Of course than to drown
But there is no drought of captains about trying to survive their own route
I'm talking crews of men and women to repair the engine to find the ship's faults and failures and fix them
We'll take their directions, adopt new disciplines, so we can avoid collision
And I'm just going to keep pirates out of the conversation
I am the captain raised on this life raft navigating my own path North
And I have learned every sailor has their anchors
Weight that keeps their ship secure through the strongest of storms
Or drags the ocean floor when they want nothing more but to move forward
A chain or a savior, each song is an anchor
The Old Niles Ferry must harbor to go any farther
Anchors aweigh
I can't change what my mind fixates
And so anchors aweigh
I'm stuck and can't carry this weight
Anchors aweigh
I can't expect the tide to change
So anchors aweigh
Anchors aweigh
Every captain has a compass pointing their own course
Yet each magnet pulls north
It's a mystery unearthed since the world was born
So we put the "quest" in "question" to discover what it's pointing towards
Sailors sweat as they guess
Others test from east to west
Some suggest there is nothing to be found at the end
Yet the compass persists
You can call it cliche but I feel a sense of direction when I let the compass lead the way
Otherwise I'm being tossed by the waves to an unknown place, casted away, led astray
The tides won't change but they will fade
And the one constancy that will remain the same is that their is somewhere out there waiting for me if I just keep straight
If I'm reading this map right, I'm fairly confident I'm being led to a light house
To an island where every fount spouts living water that won't run out
And since split decisions are prone to collision I think I'll ultimately meet
Each of the sailors who helped my endeavor at the end of our journeys
And okay, as far as the pirates go
I'd advise you to watch where you place your chests
Cause they might keep you from what's ahead
I am the captain raised on this life raft navigating my own path North
And I have learned every sailor has their anchors
Weight that keeps their ship secure through the strongest of storms
Or drags the ocean floor when they want nothing more but to move forward
A chain or a savior, each song is an anchor
The Old Niles Ferry must harbor to go any farther
Anchors aweigh
I can't change what my mind fixates
And so anchors aweigh
I'm stuck and can't carry this weight
Anchors aweigh
I can't expect the tide to change
So anchors aweigh
Anchors aweigh
I can't change what my mind fixates
And so anchors aweigh
I'm stuck and can't carry this weight
Anchors aweigh
I can't expect the tide to change
So anchors aweigh
Anchors aweigh
