Baby, it's all right Stop your crying Now Nothing is here to stay Everything has to begin and end A ship in a bottle won't sail All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water A ship in a bottle set sail Baby, it's alright Stop your crying, now There was a weakling man Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane A ship in a bottle set sail He took a deep breath and blew across the world He watched everything crumble Woke up a weakling again Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail Baby, it's all right Stop your crying, now It's all right So stop your crying, now Be a ship in a bottle set sail
