The Ship That Always Sailed

Don't want my life to be slow

Don't want to always play it safe

I'd rather be the ship that sales

Riding on the billows

Wild and free

Facing every storm that rises

Straight on, straight through

Than be rusting where the seagulls wail

Afraid to ever touch the open sea

I'd rather be the ship that sailed

Even if I crack

Even if I fail

Livin' life to it's fullest

Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest

Feeling the hail pound off my body

Than be the ship

The ship that never sailed at all

I'd rather taste the sting of strife

Where gales are born and tempest roar

Tossed from side to side

Feeling the adrenaline rush

Than settle for a smaller life

And rot in dry dock on the shore

I'd rather be the ship that sailed

Even if I crack

Even if I fail

Livin' life to it's fullest

Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest

Feeling the hail pound off my body

Than be the ship

The ship that never sailed at all

Let the sky split

Let the waves rise

Let the maps burn in the rain

Better broken on the far side

Better thrashed all about

Than untouched and safe

Sitting on the shore

Never a risk taken

And never changed

I'd rather be the ship that sailed

Even if I crack

Even if I fail

Livin' life to it's fullest

Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest

Feeling the hail pound off my body

Than be the ship

The ship that never sailed at all

I'd rather be the ship that sailed

Even if I crack

Even if I fail

Livin' life to it's fullest

Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest

Feeling the hail pound off my body

Than be the ship

The ship that never sailed at all
