to rock, to rock, to rock the boat
you have to know you'll stay afloat
and yet and yet still as you stay
you'll go you'll flow quite far away
no telling where the winds will bring
hold on to your boat, cling tightly cling

and then and then when you find your way
who's to say that you're not astray?
is it written in the stars
or can you tell from where you are
the people the people, pray they tell!
just how far you are from well

but still but still whom shall i seek
for the people the people are just as weak
they bend they break, don't hesitate
they might just kill you as you wait
so run so run far as you can
for time for time waits for no man

alone alone you may find peace
or better still your face might crease
and from your eyes a tear might roll
your body screaming this world is cold
and melt and melt into the ground
you'll wish you never will be found

somehow somehow as minutes by
the pain so deep away they fly
you thought you thought you'd never live
to see the sun or smell the breeze
just what or who came in at night
and mend your heart and brought in the light

you find you find some sort of strength
to live, breath and love at all lengths
but still you better keep in mind
love you give ain't love you'll find
for man for man they'll only care
if you if you have goodies to share

to love to love to love or hate
there's only a line that separates
the good from bad the happy or sad
a rat a rat a rat or a cat
this line this line may never see
the light of day, the birds the bees

for many oh many have vandalised thee
they spat they tore they lavished their pee
some picked up colours and started to spray
turning big bold black into something like gray
oh people dear people they have lost their sight
dancing across the lines, around, all through the night

and now and now you're wondering why
this poem this poem has caught your eye
if i if i if i might try
i'd say i'd say we're living lies
don't freak or retreat i mean no harm
for i'm just exploring the world and its charms

how easy how easy it is to say
one thing then turn and be dismayed
so please oh please won't you hear my plea
live real love real no more trickery
for i, for i am just like you
we're broken we're shattered      but still oh        so        cool


my soul my soul my soul's at ease
