I am a ship, and I'm safe in the harbor
Orbiting the planet with the waves on my keel
I am a ship, and I'm bound for the ocean
That flows between presumptions and the things that are real

I'm only five
Under the wings and rings of kings who keep me alive
I thrive, lively like ivy
Growing and going through owing my knowing to grownups
Who show up and go up against foam-ups that I did
I'm just a kid
The winning bid of two adults who consult and insulate
I don't mind, life is great
There's food on our plate that we ate and we're sated
The world that unfurled past our gate can wait to be rated
My freshness ain't dated
I have time to climb into my prime not chiming 'til years on
I'm fated to get gears on
Keel in the sea, the appeal of the seals swimming free
I don't doubt I'll find out, I'm about learning the jive

I'm back in the stern and I'm coming alive
And I'm five

I am a ship, and I'm safe in the harbor
Orbiting the planet with the waves on my keel
I am a ship, and I'm bound for the ocean
That flows between presumptions and the things that are real

I am thirteen
I make the scene and preen so keen to reveal I'm strong
But feel I don't belong, longing but wrong
Gawky and blocky like a stocky jockey on a knock-kneed pony
Who's below me and shows me all the lonely boners that I did
I'm just a kid
A spinning skid on a street that's depleted and empty
Incomplete, new things tempt me
The name that meant me and lent me so much plenty is a question
I planned to understand but I get indigestion from the lesson
Gave me a locker room to dress in
I'm tense, on the fence 'cause their lens makes no sense to me now
Are they messin', am I a zee-row
I'm on stage to engage like a sage in a cage earning wages
I rage and doubt I'll get out, but the spotlight shouts that I'm clean

I'm behind the mic, in front of the screen
I'm thirteen

I am a ship, and I'm leaving the harbor
Out into our system with the wake of my keel
I am a ship, and I'm out on the ocean
That flows between presumptions and the things that are real

Did you ever plan to grow
Was it fate that made it so
Did you ever plan to soar
Was it life that made you more

I'm twenty-one
Filled with skills and thrills, the will to get the job done
I can run, a wonder of thunder
I hunger, I'm willing, tilling and billing while chilling to winning
And I'm just beginning this inning grinning like it's sewn up
Now that I'm grown up
The winner's cup of two adults who did exult and correlate
Liberated my state, life is great
There's food on my plate that I ate and I'm sated
A new world has unfurled for my fate to create, I'm elated
The life I awaited
Is found sailing and scaling the prevailing mountains of waves
My seaworthiness saves
And out on this sea I am free to disagree and be whatever I feel
I don't doubt, inside or out, I'm all about the count 'till it's done

I got the wheel, I see how it's spun
I'm twenty-one

I am a ship, and I'm out on the ocean
Out beyond our system with the wake of my keel
I am a ship, and I'm sailing the waters
That flow between presumptions and the things that are real

I am a ship, and I'm out on the ocean
Out beyond our system with the wake of my keel
I am a ship, and I'm sailing the waters
That flow between presumptions and the things that are real

I am a ship, and I'm sailing the waters
That flow between presumptions and the things that are real
