lyrics

Oh I’m a weak man laying
On my ship surrounded by debris
Oh my body it is aching
Laid down by unknown disease

So I wrap up like a monarch
Cocoon myself by these trees
I hope to be a king someday
And fly far beyond these leaves

Oh Mama I’m mistaken
I’m not where I thought I’d be
Oh Father I’m forsaken
I’m not who I want to be

I’m an old sailor wandering
Aground in search of sea
Catch a glimpse of a man younger
Is that who I used to be?

Oh my bones are dry, my blood has run cold
Looking about like in infancy
Catch a glimpse of a man younger
Is that who I used to be?

Oh Mama I’m mistaken
I’m not where I thought I’d be
Oh Father I’m forsaken
I’m not who I want to be

There’s a red sun setting
Just beyond this torrid sea
Just as light is ebbing
I don’t know what to believe

There’s a red sun setting
My mind wanders absentee
See the moon rising yonder
Is that who I’m bound to be?

If it must rise, I too must rise
If it must rise, I too must rise
If it must rise, I too must rise

But who knows
If my tree will bear fruit
Or I’ll be lost in the pursuit
I just hope to bring glory to my soil
