Wandering through life day after day,  
tossed like a ship in a mighty gail;  
Trying to find a place to anchor,  
So that I might finally cut sail. 
 
I hope my ship will stay a float,  
till I can find a harbor of peace;  
Where the sun is warm, the sky is blue,  
and the winds they will cease. 
 
I have grown old and weary,  
my hair once brown now turns gray;  
Fighting this storm that I call my life,  
battling both night and day;  
 
Has left me weak and tattered,  
just looking for some sweet rest;  
I hope the morrow will be kinder,  
and not the start of another test.
