rate me

Song by Marcus Carl Franklin<br /><br>

Oh the time will come up <br>

When the winds will stop <br>

And the breeze will cease to be breathin'. <br>

Like the stillness in the wind <br>

'Fore the hurricane begins, <br>

The hour when the ship comes in. <br>

<br>

Oh the seas will split <br>

And the ship will hit <br>

And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking. <br>

Then the tide will sound <br>

And the wind will pound <br>

And the morning will be breaking. <br>

<br>

Oh the fishes will laugh <br>

As they swim out of the path <br>

And the seagulls they'll be smiling. <br>

And the rocks on the sand <br>

Will proudly stand, <br>

The hour that the ship comes in. <br>

<br>

And the words that are used <br>

For to get the ship confused <br>

Will not be understood as they're spoken. <br>

For the chains of the sea <br>

Will have busted in the night <br>

And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean. <br>

<br>

A song will lift <br>

As the mainsail shifts <br>

And the boat drifts on to the shoreline. <br>

And the sun will respect <br>

Every face on the deck, <br>

The hour that the ship comes in. <br>

<br>

Then the sands will roll <br>

Out a carpet of gold <br>

For your weary toes to be a-touchin'. <br>

And the ship's wise men <br>

Will remind you once again <br>

That the whole wide world is watchin'. <br>

<br>

Oh the foes will rise <br>

With the sleep still in their eyes <br>

And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'. <br>

But they'll pinch themselves and squeal <br>

And know that it's for real, <br>

The hour when the ship comes in. <br>

<br>

Then they'll raise their hands, <br>

Sayin' we'll meet all your demands, <br>

But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered. <br>

And like Pharaoh's tribe, <br>

They'll be drownded in the tide, <br>

And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.<br>

<br>
