This Ship from Rugged Elegance by Helen Rose

Make This Ship Land




I ran through the light
In the pitch of the night
Lookin’ for you




Sweat on my brow
Don’t ask me how
I waited in the hue


Lost in the way
You give and forgave
When you kept me so warm


We’re only here for so long
and every moment you’re strong
And every day that you’re weak
Following through,
Breakin’ it down,
Feel your feet on the ground


Believe in the strength
I wish I could make
When you cried in my arms


Together we’re here
Let’s make something clear,
We love and we yearn
We’re only here for so long
take every moment you’re strong
And every day that you’re weak
Following through,
Breakin’ it down,
Feel your feet on the ground


Hold my hand,
Let’s make this ship land
In the soft firmament


The lessons we learn,
Every bend that we turn
Rise and fall with the tide


You are my heart,
and you are my life
I feel your light
