And I Roll On and On

Stuck upon a boat at sea,

I call for safety, I cry and I plea.

Frothy waves pitch my wooden boat

Like leaves upon a breeze,

And I roll on and on ceaselessly.

Commanding vessels afloat
Whispering prayers to comfort peace promote
Searching blue skies for seagulls flight
But no land denote,
And I roll on and on ceaselessly.

Birth the lighthouse light
Burning a pulse into the hopeless night.
I, Captain, guide to your grace
Until day breaks fight,
And I roll on and on ceaselessly.

The ocean breathes endlessly forward,
And I roll on and on ceaselessly.
