Wooden Ships
May 3, 2025
Here’s the lyrics of an anthem from the 60’s, and it is approprite as an action people still need to uncerstand and consder:
If you smile at me
I will understand
’Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend
You’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating ‘em
For six or seven weeks now, haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free (and easy)
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver (people) on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ ‘bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us…
