The Ship In Port
Some say our dreams are a distant roadDown which our hearts would like to goBut I have always stayed in placeUnder that old illusion that it's safe
You said the ship in port is the safer oneBut it's not the reason it was madeSo forgive me if I wander offAnd forgive me more if I just stay
Sing another song for the lost onesWe're the ones who need it the mostEvery time you run it'll cost yaBut it doesn't stop us running
If a coward dies a thousand timesThen there's a graveyard in my head'Cause it took me years to say the wordsThat you did not even need said
Sing another song for the lost onesWe're the ones that need it the mostNothin' that you fear is forgottenIt follows you around like
Then everything danced to a stranger tuneAnd we found our song, and we found our truthAnd now that we know it's that we always knewFarewell to the chains we were born into
And as we danced among the ashes of our livesWe laughed it offAnd then we burned our tiny worlds and found the oceanJust beyond those paper walls
