If there’s a home away from these shores
Where would it be
As an outcast of genuine hopes
I retreat
I see my country stray from my sight
In a pale moon scene
Desolation slowly subsides
A soothing dawn appears
Ship of tears
Carry me along the stream
I shall be released at last
And for now
Lay me down
To the open-ended sea
As grief flows within me
For another year
Shelter is nowhere to be found
For the ones who seek
Beauty out of broken stones
And gold from mines of misery
The view is clear as the mist goes by
Exile is finally here
Those days I was searching on my own
Are all over
Ship of tears
Carry me along the stream
I shall be released at last
But for now
Lay me down
To the open-ended sea
As grief flows within me
For a thousand years
