The stars in the night that are holding on
Through the waves of that which devours
The struggle for life among those who suffer
The grief when somebody dies
But as for me I am full of dreams
I'll dream my whole life through
The bark that carried my little ship
Was troubled due to you
And though it suffered many years
Yet You were its demise
The tears I cry are lonely tears
I like to be alone
With the solemnity of a victim
I watch you destroy my ivory coast
My dreams were wracked apart by wrath
My boat will never reach its home
All lost, I'm singing to my baby
I'm singing to my baby and to my older child
They cry and there is no one to comfort
If not I then little hope
The songs of those who suffer and die
And fall into the dust
The aching of those who obey you
But cannot escape thy wrath
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
