[ Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. ]

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
If. If. If still helps me dawdle along,
dawdle along listless as I drift, as I... drift

along until I see. Though, alone in darkness,
surrounded by, surrounded by, surrounded by other drifters
alone in darkness searching just like me.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
If. If. If a ship does sail towards weak me
no longer paddling at all. Paddling, naw. Rough sea.

Reach down and pull me up. Pull me up. Up swiftly.
Then reach back I'll try to reach back. Save another
weaker than, weaker, weaker than... I used to be.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
If. If. If did come to fruition. Yes.
On land steady, I stand. Steady. Steady to lift.

To lift spirits to higher plains.
To shift negative to positive gains.
To love one another in sun and rain.

In sun and rain.
In sun and rain.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
If. If. If I sane remain. Sane remain.
Through prayer, study, meditation. Balance maintain.

Then back to a tranquil sea, Azure blue. Fish free.
I'll sail the swells. Sail the Swells. Sail them courageously.
For then I'll know. Yes, I know that you've always been there.

Yes, you've always been there. Been there. Been there for me
in my fear, my pain, my daily anxieties.

In my fear, my pain, my daily anxieties
You've held me up, held my hand, carried me.

Carried me. Carried me through... my constant 'if's and
my frequently expressed, inwardly stressed
past and chronic

'maybe's'.
