God Fearing, Sea Faring Man
He's a worker by the day but a dreamer by the time he gets in bed Goes to work each morning, his wages are enough to keep him fed He lives a simple life, filled with labor, filled with strife He has no family, neither children or a wife He lives by the sea in a modest mining town Surrounded by the water yet he spent his whole life underground The thoughts up in his conscience start to build up in his brain As he begins to realize he cannot withstand the pain One more day in silence, and he would go insane… So the very next morning on a brisk New England day He strapped on his black boots and walked down to the bay Where the air smelled like salt and the cold water was gray… He looked over his shoulder and turned to face his fate There was nothing keeping him here, no reason to stay So he spent his lifesavings, boarded a boat and sailed Sailed away… He sails to seek salvation, he seeks to reclaim his soul He knows that it's a gamble, but it's always been his goal All those years of silence had taken their toll… So he set off on his journey, across the endless blue Without a map, directions, a compass or a clue But he knew it was what he had to do… The clothes on his back were all that he had And in a little sack, a dry loaf of bread But he was happy if it was enough to keep him fed Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He slept beneath the heavens and he slept beneath the stars His washed away his sorrows and he washed away his scars He sailed into solitude, he sailed so far But the very next morning on a brisk New England day, The iridescent sky became an ominous gray, The clouds became darker and so did the waves But he was brave He climbed up the tower with fire in his eyes, And with all the power in his lungs he shouted at the sky I only have one thing to say I know how to be happy and you can't take that away But the storm rose up and it called him a liar, As it began to rain the situation became dire He never stood a chance as the waves grew higher As the waves grew high, Oh my oh my In the end, He had done what he had to do, His body free, and his mind too, No longer underground, but surrounded By endless blue, Surrounded by endless blue
