Before our time, upon a noun

There stood still a ship

Standing proud

She tows lines, transforms words

To be more than they are

When they are alone on their own

Pointing to no one

Ships displaying the quality

The rank craft state skill dignity

When our ship comes into nations

Who will tow the line?

Ships passing into the night, taking flight

With goods for everyone

Ships are led by the compass ones

The shipshape daughters, these shipshape sons

When our ship draws in the nations

He shall tow our line

Our ships of fools from failing schools

We need, now hear

The children, they desperately

Are needing to be, be set free

They are afraid, but so are we

This cannot be

See hope

Our captain riding

Throughout these heavens

Bringing peace

We're shipping out our men again

Oh, I pray it will end

These tunes are never ending

Thank you for sending them to our hands

Before our time, upon a noun

There stood still a ship

Standing proud

She tows lines, transform words

To be more than they are

When they are alone on their own

She's pointing to the one

    The second line is "Upon a NOUN". Noon is the stupidest thing ever. The song is about words, hence...noun.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
