Blue Boat Home

Though below me, I feel no motion
 Standing on these mountains and plains
 Far away from the rolling ocean
 Still my dry land heart can say
 I ve been sailing all my life now
 Never harbor or port have I known
 The wide universe is the ocean I travel
 And the earth is my blue boat home
 Sun, my sail and moon, my rudder
 As I ply the starry sea
 Leaning over the edge in wonder
 Casting questions into the deep
 Drifting here with my ship s companions
 All we kindred pilgrim souls
 Making our way by the lights of the heavens
 In our beautiful blue boat home
 I give thanks to the waves upholding me
 Hail the great winds urging me on
 Greet the infinite sea before me
 Sing the sky my sailor s song
 I was born upon the fathoms
 Never harbor or port have I known
 The wide universe is the ocean I travel
 And the earth is my blue boat home
