Today we are being formal again.
Oh do not sail into the treacherous seas,
Thou many-masted ship of many fools
But stay in this safe harbour if you please.
There are no charts to help you sailing free,
And the seas respect not you nor rules,
Oh, do not sail into the treacherous seas.
The pain of life can bring you to your knees
And make you wish you'd learnt of this at school,
But stay in a safe harbour if you please.
The wildest waves or gentlest swell that teases
Is nought beside the whirling of this pool,
Oh do not sail into those treacherous seas.
Your journey would be endless, there is no ease
At the destination port, you're but the tools
Who should stay within safe harbour if you please.
We are but human, frail, and hearing all our pleas
The fools are still determined they are not fools,
But do not sail into those treacherous seas
And stay in this safe harbour if you please.
