lyrics

It goes:

Things have come, things have come and gone
Things have happened, things both right and wrong
But I never stopped to look around
Never cared to leave this town
I'm learning how things are going down

Well it's been 21 long years
I've learned that life is full of facing fears
But I can't wait around and see
What will or won't happen for me
Here's the story of a man on the high seas

So this man he sailed the high seas
He saw so many things he couldn't believe
Searched for treasures so old, dubloons of gold
Even when it was cold
But he sure lived a good life

And the man, he stayed gone so long
He'd sail around the world whistling his song
Went to places so new and dangerous too
As the sea would violently brew
That was the end of his life
But he sure lived it good

Anyways, my original point
Life's too short to sit around this joint
Things are going on everyday
And I won't be the one to say
That nothing ever happens anyway
