A sole raft of rotten planks I do ride,
Dark storms flank, and turn to fight my will;
I cannot find refuge upon this tide,
But I shall unearth truth, reclusive, still;
Waves of hate and distrust refuse my heed,
Gusts of spiteful wind torment my tired soul;
An albatross, would be all that I need,
A gift of luck to lead me home, a gull;
To free my sails, from the relentless wind,
A golden map in the heavens to guide,
A moment of peace, to beg for my sin;
I turn the ship and hope, new lands to hide,
But better fortune does not wait for me,
So I shall return to my loving sea.

And you are on the raging sea I'll come and pull you from the water Then you will know that you are free" - MWS
