I think we’re sinking said the man to his boat
But you are my Lama and I am your goat
We’ve sailed the kingdom and we’ve sailed the queen
But they weren’t so royal from what we had seen
You are my Lama and you are my boat
You are the wise one who keeps me afloat
Winds keep on shifting and the tides they may turn
But why it all happens we have not yet to learn
The king he smirked smugly and then the kind he spoke loud
To those who listened in his loyal crowd
“We’ll work together”, he said, “and we will work as one
“To keep our hearts open and our eyes to the son
“Of our own creation, for this is not how we lean
“And what we’ve been searching for we cannot find to seem – find to seem- I mean you know what I mean.”
