Children of the Ocean
Infinite darkness,
wherever you see
Not a glimmer of hope,
to be found in this beautiful mess
Joy all around, in the beginning
Taken away with passing years
Not the times, just age
A terrible pond filled with tears
deep within, the hope ignites
aiming for the brightest day
wisdom works against the times
bringing the fateful tomorrow, today.
The joy is everywhere,
No one can see it at all no more
The wise gave up before anybody else,
Everybody else, racing to open the door.
I got lost in the ideas of darkness
Where to go from here?
Everyone gave up too soon, I felt
But it was always there, the fear.
What came out, was not joy but anger
Poured out from the helplessness
The hopeless wanderer found a place to be
The darkness turned into anger from sadness.
They said it’ll liberate you,
It trapped them all instead.
Stuck forever, with no hope to see the light
Just infinite despair and love and fad.
How to reverse the age,
To discover the times of joy
Right before the break of dawn,
the darkest hour is here, oh boy.
Not everyone will see the dawn
Not everyone will let you run
Maybe you could run faster
I promise you, in the end, it’ll be fun.
Today is not the day you were seeking,
It’s defintely day after tomorrow
Until you find the joy, oh boy,
Don’t confuse anger with your sorrow.
The kings were meant to protect us,
But we’re all free now, with no tool
The kingdom is out there waiting
For you to build and forever to rule
The promise was a lie,
Forbidden to question at all
Believe they said, don’t ask, never
rebuilt it with grace, after the fall.
sadness was unacceptable,
it was weakness during that battle
poured anger on it, turned into gold
fought with courage, never settle.
The doors were never there,
Another lie of the dying kingdom,
Run faster, never to return
You cannot receive, only create your freedom.
They wanted your soul,
for nothing, for no reason
They tried and attacked
Every day, night and every season
The guiding light did it all
The stupid thinkerrs always find a way
After all, we’re pirate for life,
Children of the ocean, lost everyday
No desire to be found here
The oceans endlessly mysterious
The waves take care of directions,
The winds nurture the courageous.
The break of dawn is here now,
Just see, with grace, through the dark
The infinite light was always here,
The ages, they said, simply lost the mark.
you know it now,
All of it, no fear
They love to hate it
Enjoy it all, dear.

Courage and resilience are the fundamental elements of the human story. Often lost in the chaos of our profound conquest to go nowehere at all. It seems that many of us are lost, not able to move. World at large is moving backwards disguising as growth, when you feel the fear and uncertainty felt by many of our brothers and sisters.
Kings are long gone, but the attitudes of the forgotten times are very much alive, holding us all back from finally feeling the joy of our beautiful existence.
