The Accidentals

God Fearing, Sea Faring Man
He's a worker by the day but a dreamer by the time he gets in bed
Goes to work each morning, his wages are enough to keep him fed
He lives a simple life, filled with labor, filled with strife
He has no family, neither children or a wife
He lives by the sea in a modest mining town
Surrounded by the water yet he spent his whole life underground
The thoughts up in his conscience start to build up in his brain
As he begins to realize he cannot withstand the pain
One more day in silence, and he would go insane…
So the very next morning on a brisk New England day
He strapped on his black boots and walked down to the bay
Where the air smelled like salt and the cold water was gray…
He looked over his shoulder and turned to face his fate
There was nothing keeping him here, no reason to stay
So he spent his lifesavings, boarded a boat and sailed
Sailed away…
He sails to seek salvation, he seeks to reclaim his soul
He knows that it's a gamble, but it's always been his goal
All those years of silence had taken their toll…
So he set off on his journey, across the endless blue
Without a map, directions, a compass or a clue
But he knew it was what he had to do…
The 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
His washed away his sorrows and he washed away his scars
He sailed into solitude, he sailed so far
But the very next morning on a brisk New England day,
The iridescent sky became an ominous gray,
The 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 called him a liar,
As it began to rain the situation became dire
He never stood a chance as the waves grew higher
As the waves grew high,
Oh my oh my
In the end,
He had done what he had to do,
His body free, and his mind too,
No longer underground, but surrounded
By endless blue,
Surrounded by endless blue
