Do you remember the age of exploration? When kids would sneak unto the deck? The winds and ships moved in the same direction And helped each other on their trek When boundaries were broken day by day And there was so much to discover When ships would slowly leave the bay The sleepless seagulls would always holler When doubtfulness would dare and mock The ones who always looked so brave And as the captain raised the flag The ships were named Hope, Love and Faith Do you remember how it started? When men were driven by the treasure By gold and silver left unguarded And most would crumble under pressure The waves would swallow almost all Consuming those who smelled like fear The hungry ocean honored soul And ran with those who wouldn’t steer Back then so much was still unknown And it was covered by thin air Back then, in seconds, knowledge grown And stripped the world completely bare I choose not to believe that everything was found In me, Hope, Love and Faith evoked And I still dream of walking on the ground On which no one has walked ------------------ I fell in love and kept on falling |
