I saw a ship come sailing in
I thought it was for me
I rowed out in my little boat
To meet my ship at sea
When I got there, ‘twas a mirage
With nowhere for my grasp to lodge
A holographic hope collage
Fake things that cannot be
Then came a ship fast on my stern
That one was real enough
It brought great winds and stormy skies
And billowing waves so rough
All I could do was try to float
Bailing water from my boat
As pain and trials round me smote
To call my dreaming bluff
In clearing skies a third ship came
After the storm did break
From distant sea it beckoned me
To follow in its wake
It shows the way where few have gone
With guiding light it leads me on
In faith to sail through night to dawn
How e’er long it may take
