how far is it,
are we almost there.
we've circled
the known world.
it'll be dark soon
and we're thirsty,
we're hungry, we
haven't slept
in days. where
are we, are we
almost there. i'm
tired, i'm lonely,
i'm scared that we
might not ever
arrive, never set
foot on dry land.
our supplies have
dwindled down
to nothing, the shelves
are bare. how long
can this ocean
hold us up, keep us
moving towards
the promised land.
our eyes strain to
see a shore, any shore
will do. it's not
a good place to be.
it's exactly the reason
that i ended up
with you.
