Turbulent Waters
by Jane Rouse
There are times when the water runs too fast
And the ebbs and flows are all wrong
I lose my self assurance and I’m feeling low
Just trust that the water will just keep flowing along
Don’t be afraid this boat will carry on floating
This vessel it may sway and tilt but I know my boat will carry on floating
None of us want to live in calm waters
Live life and accept your fate
But someone draws a paddle and the water washes out
It’s a turbulent rush that you just don’t need right now
Don’t be afraid this boat will carry on floating
This vessel it may sway and tilt but I know my boat will carry on floating
And another time it feels so right
No current no wind and no rain
Feeling the love and joy the easiness again
Embrace life in these moments and enjoy the ride
Don’t be afraid this boat will carry on floating
This vessel it may sway and tilt but I know my boat will carry on floating
The darkest night will yield to day
A wild storm eventually calms
And the sun it will set and the evening it will be serene
Tied safe to the bank with ropes and mooring pins
Don’t be afraid this boat will carry on floating
This vessel it may sway and tilt but I know my boat will carry on floating
Carry on floating, Carry on floating, Carry on floating…
