"You are a life-ship
As well as a ship of life
far away from a world with wars
Polluted cities are a crazy memory
As your sails shine in the sun
The sea stretches out all around
And now we can comprehend
How brave explorers of the past
Imagined a flattened planet
The sea surface hides many secrets
Creatures clever enough to avoid man
With our history of exploitation
We are in an alien landscape
Kept afloat by our wooden boat"
