Lyrics
Humankind, As The Sailor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ties that bind knots that fail or
A screw shaft carved in soap instead of bone
Humankind as the sailor
Embarking without hope of a safe way home
Keep in mind the moon makes paler
What is dark and what is soaked by the sea alone
Humankind as the sailor
Embarking without hope of a safe way home
The size of the storm that is buffeting us
Is absolutely huge and enormously dangerous
We who rescue others
Lovers, sons and mothers
Now we feel like the orphans ourselves
If we don't keep up the grind
I will surely fall behind
Wave after wave
Right into my face
Humankind of one mind
Set adrift to ride the storm
