Man, o Shipwreck

Always searching never finding
Growing colder every mile
Life a thread that keeps unwinding on this unforgiving isle

Man o vessel lost and stranded
How you’ve lost your innocence
Look at yourself understand it
You’ve been shipwrecked ever since

Shadows fall as waters rise in
This a cruel calamity
Silhouettes on the horizon
Shadows of humanity
Man o ship without a captain
Who will clean up the debris?
Look at yourself see what happened
Justice saw your mutiny

Man o vessel lost and stranded
How you’ve lost your innocence
Look at yourself understand it
You’ve been shipwrecked ever since

But shattered sails still have their glory
Beautiful though broken art
Scattered on the rocks a story
Fragments of an author’s heart
Man o shipwreck on the high seas
Look at yourself, see what I see
All the things you could have been
Man o shipwreck on the high seas
Look at yourself, see what I see
All the things you could be again
