Lyric discussion by DrThunder 

One of my all time favorite songs as far as lyrics ago, and inspired my tattoo (along with Mekong). This is a huge metaphor for life, and not just our life, but everyone's lives. We are each in our own little boat that's leaking and will eventually sink with no sail, no anchor and no land in sight... and it's scary, but take heart, because we are ALL alone adrift together, so smile, wave, share in our fear together and love each other..."Here we go!" Youtube has an interview with Roger where he says he woke up in Mexico one day from a dream and had almost this entire song (chord progression, hook, lyrics, and the metaphor) all ready to just roll out of his head.
