Back in my Navy days when I used to feel stressed
I would go to the side of my ship and try to remember why I’m blessed
Putting aside all the bullshit and bad leadership
Reminding myself that over me they have no true grip
Just watching as the water gets sliced by the ship and pushed aside
And feeling at peace knowing that I’m safe as I go along for this ride
This is my peaceful spot, my calm place, my serenity
And no self-righteous Chief or First Class can ever take that away from me.
