[Verse 1] On an unpaved weather-worn highway Walk with the staff in your hand In the distance you see a boat fighting The waves by the coastline You see that the boat is fighting Weary and worn by the swell Straying off-course in the chaos Feeble little shell [Chorus] The clouds are swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The sky is painted grey today [Verse 2] You find it so hard to think of A friend in a state of dismay When you cannot reach out and help them To find a better way But by looking a little bit closer Now I can see what it's true That the waves are thе struggles of living And the boat is you [Chorus] The clouds arе swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The sky is painted grey today The clouds are swiftly sailing by The ocean blares a battle cry The world is painted grey today [Outro] (Vocalizations)
