lyrics
This Ship Can Float On Hope
Well, all in all, I’d say it’s all been better than it’s been worse,
So I left my port of call in search of memories to rehearse,
And the border gates and dividing lines were postcards left ashore.
So we chased the wind in vessels setting sail to somewhere new,
Without captain, without master, without compass, without crew,
And the albatross was the first one to know.
This ship can float on hope.
So give me peace upon the waves, where nothing is sure, but broken dreams,
Where ivory towers offer rubble to the sea,
That ravages the harbor,
Well, a pirate’s life for me,
Cause the lighthouses lost power when six souls ceased to believe,
They had a home.
And the albatross has been heavy, but we wore him ‘round our necks,
The voyage has been rocky, but this ship is not shipwrecked,
It’s just battle-worn, by the passing storms, that try to fill the hull
But friendship’s still a constant, and morale is holding fast,
Let the gods all damn the ship, while we forget about our pasts,
And the albatross just made up his mind.
This ship can float on hope.
So give me peace upon the waves, where nothing is sure, but broken dreams,
Where ivory towers offer rubble to the sea,
That ravages the harbor,
Well, a pirate’s life for me,
Cause the lighthouses lost power when six souls ceased to believe,
They had a home.
Well, all in all, I’d say it’s all been better than it’s been worse,
So I left my port of call in search of memories to rehearse,
And the border gates and dividing lines were postcards left ashore.
So we chased the wind in vessels setting sail to somewhere new,
Without captain, without master, without compass, without crew,
And the albatross was the first one to know.
This ship can float on hope.
So give me peace upon the waves, where nothing is sure, but broken dreams,
Where ivory towers offer rubble to the sea,
That ravages the harbor,
Well, a pirate’s life for me,
Cause the lighthouses lost power when six souls ceased to believe,
They had a home.
And the albatross has been heavy, but we wore him ‘round our necks,
The voyage has been rocky, but this ship is not shipwrecked,
It’s just battle-worn, by the passing storms, that try to fill the hull
But friendship’s still a constant, and morale is holding fast,
Let the gods all damn the ship, while we forget about our pasts,
And the albatross just made up his mind.
This ship can float on hope.
So give me peace upon the waves, where nothing is sure, but broken dreams,
Where ivory towers offer rubble to the sea,
That ravages the harbor,
Well, a pirate’s life for me,
Cause the lighthouses lost power when six souls ceased to believe,
They had a home.
