So hard these days To hold our heads up high Birds pass us by Reciting their lines unkind
For all those civil savants Who drink fine wines
Dear Derelict You'll find your stride
Across the ocean tide Dear Derelict
We'll bide our time
Then fly
Of all that was fair Nothing remains
All our conviction made fiction And we're to blame
Curse out their names Merchants and pirates the same
We ain't no better But we'll enjoy our fame
Dear Derelict You'll find your stride Across the ocean tide
Dear Derelict We'll bide our time
Then fly
Till all your fears subside
I thought I really was insane
Turns out it wasn't always this way Still we just cling to dreams of better days We might've fallen from Your sight
I'll do my best to make it alright Still we just cling to dreams of better days
And now I feel really alive
I know it can't always be night
Still we just cling to dreams of righteousness
