Braving The Storm

Braving The Storm Cutting through the waves she’s the fastest vessel Harvest of the sea back to port she brings At the rudder stands the ships old captain Tales of everywhere she’s sailed quietly she sings Through ship wrecks and hardship, still she has prevailed Albatross rests on his deck, by the law of the sea she sailed Fleeing a land without hope any A tiny boat with refugees many For a new life a desperate hope Waves rise as towers over the small boat Losing control, cannot sail, barely float On radio hear their desperate hope They are unwanted, there is no hope, nowhere for them to flee Grey ships are sent not to save but to push them back to sea Their lives are worth nothing, they’re not citizens so let them die Let their boat sink, let them drown, no one for them will cry Cutting through the waves she’s the fastest vessel She has heard the call, she’s coming at full speed All the sailors know, of the sea the first law Never turn your back on a ship in need Grey ships try to stop her force her to back down As the sailors try to save those about to drown More ships arrive to battle the seas Sailors born here and refugees Here to outsail the boat of Charon Saving one by one without any rest Defy the gray ships threats of arrest They’ll stay undefeated standing as one Solo: Anna Loppacher How can you stand by and watch as people die? You’ve made it illegal to help can you tell me why? Do you think we’ll just back down and stop to care? Abandon our fellow humans and leave them in despair? Save our souls Brave the storm Save our souls Brave the storm
