Tall Ships Gallop
Hope is hard to find, when you don’t know what you’re looking for
And you’re consistently behind, thinking there must be something more
And everything is changing, but you still feel the same
You don’t know what you’re doing with your life or so it seems
You’re full of suppressed feelings, a soul bursting at the seams
And everything is changing, but you still feel the same
And before you know, you’re getting old, and losing touch
But life keeps marching on and on
And you’re hung up on things you haven’t done
And all you have now are regrets
And you’re heavy with emotional debts
To the ones you love
And before you know, you’re getting old, and losing touch
With all the things that mean the most
And your life is full of ghosts
And you’re weathering a loss in your heart
And your body’s falling apart
But we’re safe tonight as we celebrate this life
And before you know, you’re getting old, and losing touch
With all the things that mean the most
And with a lump in your throat, you cry
That you lived your life well, and honestly, and with an open heart
To give yourself to history
