The lonely helmsman
On the quiet sea I keep,
Rocking my boat with a,
dolorous heart,
Watching the Earth from afar,
Wondering if I could survive the lonely days on this sea
I'm a caged bird yearning for freedom,
I'm a prisoner of nature
Caged by an unwanted phenomenon
With no hope to withstand its torment.
I'm a hopeless helmsman
Rocking my boat to an unknown direction,
Without the hope to survive the huge tidal wave at my fore
*I'm the lonely helmsman*
