I will not stay one minute more

Within this dream upon the shore

Now that it’s clear to me

My life is out upon the sea

I thought the shore serene secure

But now I know it’s just a lure

To keep me from a life awake

And quietly my soul to take

The sea is rough and savage sure

It tears apart what is pure

But trying to protect myself

Confines my spirit to a shelf

It may seem safe, but this I’m sure

It will not happiness procure

When all of life is wild and free

Embracing waves is sure the key

So life and sea I welcome thee

Although my death you will be

For without you I am doomed

Never alive to be entombed
