The things you've seen the life you survived
How history has rushed on through.
The lessons you learned this world that has changed
Did this make it better for you?
You’ve lived the life of a sailor around the world you did sail
From ship to ship,and port to port as wars just come and go
You fight for God and Country that flag that flies so high
So isolated from your family as you sail beyond the sky
looking at this ocean and wondering why you're here
The smell, the rage, the power, the tears
That keeps drawing you back each year
What of life on the main land after 30 years out here?
You make a boat, console your life and go back to sailing the sea.
