Drift On

I hope you can see the shore from where you are

You might be miles away

But close at heart

I hope you can see the dawn from where you stand

It might be dark

But you will land

Drift on

You will land

Well, let me tell you about perseverance, in this land of smoke and mirrors

My man, you need a hand to focus clear?

Well I can paint a pretty picture and tell you that hope is near

Shorty learned to swim 'cause you floatin' there

Waitin' on some mystery to fall and appear to us

While those so near to us, flip as co-conspirators

The belly was designed to stay full and warm

They gave me TV and a dorm and they call that reform

I read a book, wrote a song and freed my spiritual form

And then an oath amongst ourselves was sworn

If any one of us made it to the other side and got back home

We'd make sure the little babies hold on, well here I am

I hope you can see the shore from where you are

You might be miles away

But close at heart

I hope you can see the dawn from where you stand

It might be dark

But you will land

Drift on

You will land
