On an unpaved weather-worn highway Walk with a staff in your hand In the distance you see a boat fighting The waves by the coastline You see that the boat is fighting Weary and worn by the swell Straying off-course in the chaos Feeble little shell ♪ The clouds are swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The sky is painted gray today ♪ You find it so hard to think of A friend in a state of dismay When you cannot reach out and help them To find a better way But by looking a little bit closer Now, I can see what is true That the waves are the struggles of living And the boat is you ♪ The clouds are swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The sky is painted gray today ♪ The clouds are swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The world is painted gray today
