Sails, billowing in the wind 

Clear water waves crashing onto shore 

A sailor sails to discover his frame of mind 

The salty sea air whisks him, unrefined 

Drifting away from shore, he realizes what he must ask for 

Sails, billowing in the wind 

Quieting down he asks himself, tuning into the gears that grind 

Quieting down, he tells himself his life’s lore 

A sailor sails to discover his frame of mind 

Intertwined in his thoughts, he is tempted to leave it all behind 

Diving into his core, he is reminded of how he used to soar 

Sails, billowing in the wind 

Opening his eyes to a newfound life, he focuses on what he might find 

Opening his eyes to a newfound life, he wonders how he lived before 

A sailor sails to discover his frame of mind 

Sitting on the portside, he sees the constant lapping in his mind, redesigned 

Standing up, he takes the tiller, taking control of The Adore
