Sea of doubts

I told them all the ones i love
i'm leaving and i may not return
see lately i've been overcome
a feeling i fear has just begun
the pain i feel deep inside
that haunts us all that we will die
never really knowing how it feels
to be alive
through mountains and over seas
through misery and disease
a spectator i played my part
but nothing could move this heart
until i held the boys hand
the little one spoke like a man
he showed me death and said
this is how you know you're alive
a kingfisher in flight
you'll rise above the sea of doubts
into a world full of clouds
alive
