“Pirates” – A song I wrote about facing adversity – the ‘pirates’ in our lives & the journey[s] we embark upon – we are resilient & resourceful.

Walking down to the dock of the bay
Just take care in selecting your ship, moored at the quay
A sturdy ship from those at hand will help your passage
Deliver you to a new land
Before you set sail, remember why you chose to leave this place
Changing your mind in a storm tossed sea
Keeps you floundering upon that misery sea
– Chorus –
Taking shots from a cannonade
High seas pirates chasing your sails
Throw your caution to the wind
Position your ship so the sun shines in their face
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand at your hand
– Middle break –
– Chorus –
Taking shots from a cannonade
High seas pirates chasing your sails
Throw your caution to the wind
Position your ship so the sun shines in their face
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand
And though your crew has abandoned the sails
I can still feel the wind and the waves at your hand, at your hand
Before you set sail remember why you chose to leave this place
