Raise The Anchor Men

Raise The Anchor Men

My thoughts are filled with inadequacy

And I am not where I thought I’d be

I try to hold to your promise to me

But it’s hard in this humanity

I cannot feel your hand anymore

I don’t hear your voice above the roar

The rudder broke and the sails tore

And I’m drifting further from the shore

Mayday! Mayday! I cry in despair

And shoot a flare up in the air

God in heaven, do you even care

That there is dark water everywhere

Not many down here can hear the distress

Or can really see that I’m in a mess

Can you hurry it up, I hate this stress

What’s it all for, I can only guess

Sailing this sea of anxiety is rough

Understanding the physiology is tough

All the neurons and chemical stuff

Some days I feel I’ve just had enough

Untie the lines, and raise the anchor men

And hoist the patched up sails again

I’ll grab the helm and catch the wind

Let’s resolve that we will not give in
