When The Ship Comes In

<br>Oh the time will come up<br><br>When the winds will stop<br><br>And the breeze will cease to be breathin.<br><br>Like the stillness in the wind<br><br>fore the hurricane begins,<br><br>The hour when the ship comes in.<br><br><br><br>Oh the seas will split<br><br>And the ship will hit<br><br>And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.<br><br>Then the tide will sound<br><br>And the wind will pound<br><br>And the morning will be breaking.<br><br><br><br>Oh the fishes will laugh<br><br>As they swim out of the path<br><br>And the seagulls theyll be smiling.<br><br>And the rocks on the sand<br><br>Will proudly stand,<br><br>The hour that the ship comes in.<br><br><br><br>And the words that are used<br><br>For to get the ship confused<br><br>Will not be understood as theyre spoken.<br><br>For the chains of the sea<br><br>Will have busted in the night<br><br>And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean.<br><br><br><br>A song will lift<br><br>As the mainsail shifts<br><br>And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.<br><br>And the sun will respect<br><br>Every face on the deck,<br><br>The hour that the ship comes in.<br><br><br><br>Then the sands will roll<br><br>Out a carpet of gold<br><br>For your weary toes to be a-touchin.<br><br>And the ships wise men<br><br>Will remind you once again<br><br>That the whole wide world is watchin.<br><br><br><br>Oh the foes will rise<br><br>With the sleep still in their eyes<br><br>And theyll jerk from their beds and think theyre dreamin.<br><br>But theyll pinch themselves and squeal<br><br>And know that its for real,<br><br>The hour when the ship comes in.<br><br><br><br>Then theyll raise their hands,<br><br>Sayin well meet all your demands,<br><br>But well shout from the bow your days are numbered.<br><br>And like pharaohs tribe,<br><br>Theyll be drownded in the tide,<br><br>And like goliath, theyll be conquered.
