About This Song


A metaphor, with no Story as such, I saw this title on a poster years ago and had to write it. Would only be for a film or tv use. Likely my best "follow your dream" type effort.

Feedback Requested


general. I guess like many of these I send, I'm wondering whether it's worth really putting some money into this.

What Ships Are For

Written by Richard Kirk

WHAT SHIPS ARE FOR
On the sea of life there are some mighty rough waves
They can pull you under their tow
If your boat stays home, you will find shelter there
But surely you’ll have missed a chance to grow

You can park your ship in the harbor
Staying safe near the shore
You’ll be secure in the harbor
But that’s not WHAT SHIPS ARE FOR

There’s a natural fear that keeps us holding back
From traveling a perilous trail
Every ocean is crossed one mile at a time
That’s something you won’t know til you set sail
CH
There’s no guarantee that you’ll reach your reward
But you’re better for taking the chance
CH
