Blameless

Friendless I lay at the bottom of the sea
Shipwrecked I drowned, two days now three
No more to think, no more to see
Any sign of life or the color green

Down here it's gray and everthing's dull
Nothing escapes the water's strong pull
Now thanks to me this pit is full
Trapped forever in my ship's hull

Now and again a ray of light
Pierces the darkness from some great height
And for a moment, filled with delight
Until Alas! again it's night

But then at last one day I saw
The sun that rises with the dawn
And looking up I stared in awe
A man descended, life withdrawn

With me to dwell was why he came
There in his eyes I saw my shame
But there too lived a wild flame
Burning up every trace of blame

Up, up we go above the sea
That vast blue prison fades from me
Into that true Land of the Free
Together forever, we will be
Best friends for all eternity
