Albatross

Albatross
Skims over the waves
Alone with the rain and the wind
That she commands
Sailors say
Don’t be afraid
On fate’s fragile wing
We’ll ride out this storm
Storm, storm
Storm, storm
Blown off course
Foam flecked and cold
Home is an old children’s song
We sing ourselves to sleep
Lighthouse knows
All journeys end
With hope’s hand reaching out
To still each beating breast
