When the ship sails out of the harbour Does it know where it will next lay its anchor The writing on the wall, there's a storm in the sky But when I'm curled into a ball, it'll never pass me by You were the needle in my compass You are the wind in my sails And with the love of those before me There's no way I can fail Because life is like a cold dark night Lain exhausted on a beach But when the moon shines down I'm drawing circles on the ground The stars are their eyes and they teach me How to fly CHORUS; 1996, when we open our lips 1998, we turn towards fate 2001, when the day is done 2005, for the rest of our lives, 1996, something new in the mix 1998, but it's oh so late 2001, we don't see the sun 2005, when it lets us thrive And in the strike of the hammer and the stroke of the brush Nothing lies in hope truly worthy of your trust Your mind is a projector and your judgement is a lens One false step and you can never make amends (x2) CHORUS When the ship sails out of the harbour Does it know where it will next lay its anchor

about

This is a song I wrote for my parents for Christmas 2011.

A bit of context: I was born in 1996, and my brothers in 1998, 2001, and 2005. That explains the chorus. You can buy it if you like - I'd be chuffed.
