We're drifting on a ship,
unaware of who will float
in and out of our lives.
Question who to keep close,
and who to let coast into the distance.
Drifting through this life,
you will meet millions.
There are a million mouths
to speak their peace about you.
Yet not a single voice matters
unless it matters to you.
You'll have your own opinions,
you'll hold your tongue,
you'll spill your guts.
You'll learn about this world,
how to handle yourself,
how to handle others.
How to anchor yourself.
