lyrics

MAY YOUR BOAT STAY AFLOAT


Ol' Noah must have been just a little bit afraid
As he battened down the hatches at the end of the parade.
He said, "Lord, I've started driftin' and this weather's mighty bleak.
My friends have disappeared and I got all these mouths to feed."
So it is with you and me.


CHORUS
May your boat stay afloat though it's loaded down with cares.
May your sails not fail to find the weather fair.
May your storms be few and the Captain see you through.
May your heart stay strong and true.
This is all I ask for you.


Christopher Columbus must have been just a little bit confused
As he headed west to find the East; discovered Timbuktu.
He said, "Lord, I think I’m lost, the whole world seems wrong-side round,
The faces aren’t too friendly, there's no gold here to be found."
So it is with me and you.


REPEAT CHORUS


Into every life a little rain will surely fall.
We get inside out and upside down and all that rigmarole.
But just like Chris and Noah I hope we sail on through
Until we find safe harbors, me and you.


REPEAT CHORUS
