The raft creaks beneath my feet
As the ocean waves roll on
I don’t know where I’m headed
But I know the past is gone
A tattered sail propels me
As the breeze shoves me away
Into a blue horizon
To pursue a brand-new day
With rain for my hydration
And the fish to keep me fed
I sail into the future
Unaware of what’s ahead
Maybe I’ll find an island
A new land to call my own
With coconuts and mangos
And the fear of life alone
Or maybe a hurricane
With its fury and delight
Will send my raft a-spinning
And condemn me to the night
The future is uncertain
As I drift off with the tide
Regardless of what happens
I shall enjoy the ride
