God Fearing, Sea Faring Man

Lyrics
He's a worker by the day, but a dreamer by the time he gets in bed He goes to work each morning- his wages are enough to keep him fed He lives a simple life; filled with flavor, filled with strife He has no family; neither children, nor a wife He lives by the sea in a modest mining town Surrounded by the water, yet he spends his whole life underground The thoughts up in his conscious start to build up in his brain He began to realize he could not withstand the pain One more day in silence and he would go insane So the very next morning, on a [?] new [?] day He strapped on his black boots and walked onto the bay Where the air smelled like salt Cold water where his [?] He looked over his shoulder, and turned to face his fate There was nothing keeping him there, no reason to stay So he spent his life-savings, boarded a boat and sailed Sailed away He sails to seek salvation, he seeks to reclaim his soul Knows that it's a gamble but it's always been his goal All those years in silence have Taken their toll So he sent off on his journey, across the endless blue Found a map direction, the compass [?] a clue But he knew It was what he had to do Clothes on his back were all that he had And in a little sack, a dry loaf of bread But he was happy If it was enough to keep him fed He slept beneath the heavens and he slept beneath the stars He washed away his sorrows and washed away his scars Sailed into solitude He sailed so far But the very next morning, on a [?] new [?] day The iridescent sky came an ominous gray Clouds became darker, and so did the waves But he was brave He climbed up the tower, with fire in his eyes And with all the power in his lungs, he shouted at the sky "I only have one thing to say: I know how to be happy and you can't take that away!" But the storm rose up and it came alive As it began to rain, the situation became dire The boat never stood a chance as the waves grew higher As the waves grew higher Oh my, oh my In the end, he had done what he had to do His body was free, and his mind too The longer underground was surrounded by endless blue Surrounded by endless blue
