Crickety-Crack, The Boat Went!

My prayer goes to those who lost their loved ones, With my face in my palm The sea angry, far from being calm Crickety-Crack, Crickety-Crack, The boat went And in that moment I was very scared Crickety-Crack, Crickety-Crack, The boat went And in that moment I feared for our lives All that was on my mind was How we were going to survive Unlike the doomed Egyptian ferry Nothing happened, though I was very weary And far from being merry I could feel the power of its engine If this boat went down No one would win No one would know where to begin Everything on the ferry was shaking People were just sitting and faking Or perhaps I was mistaking Because of the looks of unconcerned faces If there were scared There were no significant traces Crickety-Crack, Crickety-Crack, The boat went And in that moment I became very nervous With the complete knowledge The sea is such a powerful force A reassuring hand Made me understand What is to be, will be I suddenly realised the Sea Is far more superior to the Land Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi
