Sail On! Sail On! - Undertow lyrics

Hey there young man, where's your ambition gone? The shine has left your eyes just like your friends from back home So much you dreamt up and dealt with has died or been left behind So take heart from this and eradicate past from conscience We'll drown your sorrow in the light of our hearts Sketches on notebooks drawn in present and future tense The pages may yellow and fold and burn But memories stay with us anyway You're just like your old friends once full of hope and control But the easy things for you were hard for them, can't drive, no life Are you who you are, or are you who you were? Have we really changed that much? Aren't we really just mimicking real life? Sketches on notebooks drawn in present and future tense The pages may yellow and fold and burn But memories stay with us anyway Frozen like life beneath the ice, some sit in hibernation Only to wake in better times, and make for curious conversation I'll ride like Isaac through the sea to your ship that's sinking, being torn apart over the reef I'll save every single one of you I swear and bring you safely back to feel the sand beneath your feet I'll light a fire on the coast big enough to keep you all warm, and watch over you while you sleep You are my family, just please don't leave I'll build a tower with my own bones, high above the storms and the cold white snow I'll catch your food with my own teeth, warm your soul and relieve your grief You are my whole life, without you I can't breathe You are my family, just please don't leave
