The Emigrant

Onwards ...

The rain falls hard
The wind blows strong
A ship sailing slowly across the sea
Onwards through the night
A night so dark
A night so black
Filled with the memories that remain
Of home so far behind

The ocean is wide
The ocean is deep
A man passing slowly over the waves
Searching for a light of hope
Hope so faint
Hope so sweet
A promise of new life carrying him away
Towards a distant shore

Searching ...
