The Ship In Port lyrics

Some say our dreams are a distant road

Down which our hearts would like to go

But I have always stayed in place

Under that old illusion that it's safe

You said the ship in port is the safer one

But it's not the reason it was made

So forgive me if I wander off

And forgive me more if I just stay

Sing another song for the lost ones

We're the ones who need it the most

Every time you run it'll cost ya

But it doesn't stop us running

If a coward dies a thousand times

Then there's a graveyard in my head

'Cause it took me years to say the words

That you did not even need said

Sing another song for the lost ones

We're the ones that need it the most

Nothin' that you fear is forgotten

It follows you around like

Then everything danced to a stranger tune

And we found our song, and we found our truth

And now that we know it's that we always knew

Farewell to the chains we were born into

And as we danced among the ashes of our lives

We laughed it off

And then we burned our tiny worlds and found the ocean

Just beyond those paper walls
