Cut The Sails
Somehow, somewhere, someway, I just know
Somebody out there has to see
The world is tore up from the floor up
Man I think it shows
Ain't much living left for you and me
Please don't let my song steer you wrong or make you cry
The intention is not to make you sad and blue
I'm just looking for a reason or an answer as to why
The one's behind the wheel do what they do
(Chorus)
Raise the flag, cut the sails, we're going down
This old world has become a raging sea
Tie the lines, let that old fog whistle sound
Soon all we know will no longеr be
A bloody river's flowing from a war that's waged so long
Shorеline getting closer by the day
This old life just won't go right if everybody's living wrong
Sad but true, it's always been this way
Sailors of the lord turn your collars to the wind
And hunker down for she will surely blow
It's so hard to see horizon through all of this cold dark sin
To the wind and on to Heaven we must row
(Chorus)
Raise the flag, cut the sails, we're going down
This old world has become a raging sea
Tie the lines, let that old fog whistle sound
Soon all we know will no longer be
Soon all we know will no longer be
