Lyrics
Baby, it's alright
Stop your cryin now
Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
Like a ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that wind will blow us across the water
A ship in a bottle sets sail
Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying now
There was a weakling man
Who dreamed he was a strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle sets sail
He took a deep breath and blew across the world
He watched everything crumble
woke up a weakling again
Some might tell you there's no hope in hell just because they feel hopeless
But you don't have to be a thing like that
You be a ship in a bottle, set sail
Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying now
It's alright
So stop your crying now
Be a ship in a bottle set sail
