“Listen, yeah everybody wants change
Don't nobody wanna change though
Don't nobody wanna pray
Till they got something to pray for
Now everybody's gon' die
But don't everybody live though
Sometimes I look up to the sky
And wonder do you see us down here?”

“You see the same God that you saying might not even exist
Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed
When ya healthy it's like, we don't really care for Him then
Leave me alone God, I'll call you when I need you again
Which is funny, everyone will sleep in the pews
Then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you
We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do?
It's hard to answer prayers when nobody's praying to you”

“The first few hours of sailing felt like coming home. I stood behind the Ceffyl’s familiar wheel with the sun on my skin and the wind in my hair. With a near full crew at my side, I was invincible, holding my destiny in my hands, my fate etched into the smooth oak handles.”

“Every single drop of saltwater that seeped into my skin remade me from the outside in. This was who I was. This person, part sailor and part sea itself, standing on the edge of a ship, staring at the edge of the world.”
