They Don't Want Us To Go On A Voyage
They Don’t Want Us To Go On A Voyage
By Leon Zguri
We know that the mast
Is set to go on an adventure that will last
We are ready
The sailboat is steady
We are prepared to take the first step,
But they pull back our drive, our footsteps
When the desire and the need to explore is great,
They won’t allow us to go on a voyage, they will rate
They tell us we are too young
The maturity bell has not been rung
The ocean is a scary place
It doesn’t matter, we have to stare at adversity’s face
If we want to grow
That’s something they have to know
When the desire and the need to explore is great,
They won’t allow us to go on a voyage, they will not open the gate
They tell us we won’t know what to do
If the giant waves grew
They let us know that the quest is laborious
They think it’s too dangerous
“What if we get stranded”, they say
We don’t think it will happen that way
When the desire and the need to explore is great,
They don’t want us to go on a voyage, they want us to wait
They’re worried about how we will fare
The ocean and the land, they don’t compare
When we want to travel out to see, they want us to have so many solutions
They never think of any resolutions
They want us to follow them unquestionably
A trip on the ocean is almost unmentionable
When the desire and the need to explore is great,
We don’t get permission to go on a voyage, stagnation is something we hate
When the desire and the need to explore is great,
A long voyage out at sea is something they won’t permit
They want to relegate us to a predictable fate
