== Hoist The Sails ==

i hoist the sails, the ship is back on course,
the wind is freshening up.
no anchor on a chain to hold me back.
just the keel strong and straight,
keeps me on course, keeps me from overturning,
steers me through a tidal change.
another reef, another scratch, i know every single one,
where i got it, how it felt and how it hurt.
and i know, as the journey goes on,
the water smooths it. a mark, the certitude of constancy.

hoist the sails, no anchor chain,
trust in your ship, no one to blame
hoist the sails, no turning back
trust in your crew, nothing shall lack

i lay on deck, watching the wind getting caught in the sails.
the wood feels rough on my skin,
but real and honest,
keeps me grounded on the endless sea,
lets me know that land’s out there.
i just have to keep the rudder brassbound in my hands.
my vessel will brave the sea.
and if my strength abandons me,
i lean on my ship.
it knows the shallow waters on the course.

even though the planks are moaning in the wind,
even though the sails burst from time to time,
even though the salt is eating away at the wood,
i know, this ship brings me through waves and storms.

i don’t need an anchor, ‘cause i don’t want to stop.
i sail till i see the coast of home.
when i reach it,
i land my ship straight on the sandy beach.
my home forever and love holds it there.
