Steersman
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
And the more that I row the more I pray
So that this voyage
Will never end that makes
The sea around the sea.
My old man one day said
With his way of giving advice:
- Look, the sea doesn't have hairs
That people can grab onto
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
I was never a steersman
Because I'm not one for sailing
The steering wheel of my life
God is who governs
And when someone asks me
How do you swim
I explain that I don't navigate
Who navigates me is the sea
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
It isn't me who navigates me
Who navigates me is the sea
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
He is the one that carries me
Like how he couldn't even take me
The net of my destiny
Seems like that of fisherman
When it returns empty
It comes full of suffering
I live in a whirlpool
God knows well what he does
The wave that carries me
Is the same that brings me
