Pete Zaesar Galula - Shore

I'm sailing on a rough sea
its calmness i seek
to reach the shore
so i could throw away the oars
forever

But here i hold them now
Every stroke, losing my arm's strength
my boat, battling the raging waves
unhinging the ropes
that hold my destiny

The wind fiercely tearing my sails
tears from heaven falling down
rolling down on my face
to my lips,
bitter
sweet

The horizon is out of my sight
but the shoreline is never far
may the spirit of the sea
lead me straight
there,
Home,

And i'll throw away the oars
forever
