Ships - Tyler Ramsey

It’s so sad to see you clinging on desperately to one thing

When your dream is so entangled in another person’s dream

They might tie you up forever

They might keep you down and tethered

When you finally remember yourself it may be too late

When the wind died down you found yourself out drifting in a ship whose sails

Weren’t big enough to carry you and all the extra weight

Well you should have jumped some time ago and made your way back to the shore

And built a ship seaworthy

From the trees along the beach

Well I hope that there is wind enough to take you where you need to go

And time enough for you to plant your boundaries on the shore

Cause by now I’ve seen too many of us seamlessly upon the sea

Whose sails are clinging desperately to ships that once were worthy
