Manifest Destiny
Didn't matter how long we waited
The flood had not receded
We checked the maps and surveys:
Nowhere to go
Some folks had started praying
But it never finished raining
Despite the years of planning
Nothing to show
The levies overflowed
Supplies are running low
We better hit the road
Too many vices to forgive
We'll find another place to live
Forty days upon the ocean
Your company, the bosun
Is suffering from starvation
It's time to row
Succumbing to exhaustion
You hear an apparition
It's there at the horizon
A ray of hope
The sun begins to set
You see a silhouette
A mountain top ahead
