Slow Boat

It's a slow boat
But our sails are set
It's a straight course
It's an even bet

While we wait to sound
The proud salute
Flowers growing from a sturdy root

For the seed that fell on the stony ground
Had no chance no depth was found
For the seed that grew among the thorn
Choked a fruit a devils child was born

It's a slow boat
But our sails are set
It's a straight course
It's an even bet

While we wait to sound
The proud salute
The flowers growing from a sturdy root

And the seeds that fell on good ground
Brought forth the fruit to eat
And seeds that fall on good ground
Have the future at their feet

It's a slow boat
But our sails are set
It's a straight course
It's an even bet

While we wait to sound
The proud salute
The flowers growing from a sturdy root
