[Chorus:]
A bit like a boat
I'm pushing ahead against the sea
I'm sailing over the waves
A bit like a boat
I'm pushing ahead and I'm proud
of what I'm carrying on my back
A bit like a boat
which finds its balance
between waves and chaos
A bit like a boat
I'm pushing ahead and I'm proud
of what I'm carrying on my back
A bit like a boat
Mother says that through hardships
we must keep on smiling,
smiling back at life,
And there's always something good
to take along as long as we're breathing,
otherwise it won't blow over
We're going
against the wind praying
stripped off of all our strength with time
(chorus)
With time everything goes away
With time everything goes away
With time everything goes away
With time everything will heal
I recall our hands freezing to death
this heavy sack on our shoulders
to eat our fill when life wrote its ticket
sharper than a knife
And then we got used to it
And then we got used to it
And then we got used to it
And then we got used to it, used to it
(chorus)
With time everything goes away
With time everything goes away
With time everything goes away
With time...
And I'm rowing, rowing, rowing on the water
I'm rowing, rowing, rowing, but hope's flowing away
And I'm rowing, rowing, rowing on the water
I'm rowing, rowing, rowing ...
(chorus)
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like, like a boat
