As every captain of a ship
Sailing in the sea knows
You often run into storms
And go where the wind blows.
Such is our relationship
Struggling at each turn
But never losing an ounce of love
Or losing passion’s burn.
As does the captain occasionally
At shore will look back
I’ll sometimes think of all our years
And find nothing that we lack.
The ship that we have chosen
To take this wonderful ride
Somehow does seem to manage
To fight the constant tide.
The captains of yesteryear
Always with the pirates did fight
And so I must now enter a battle
Which requires all of my might.
The foe that I face
Is neither heard or seen
But its power is never questioned
And its result can be so mean.
I stand against this enemy
With “us” on my mind.
Our future that is so fragile
With a defeat can unwind.
As the captain of a fighting ship
Does depend upon his crew
So now I look to the strength of our love
To bring me back to you.
