Somewhere in the pacific <br />Is a tiny raft that floats <br />Where the strength and will of one to live <br />Hangs on within this boat <br /> <br />The lone survivor, <br />Of the ship the Miranda Lea <br />Three days ago it capsized, <br />Now lost is he at sea <br /> <br />With his hands in the water <br />He cups it across his face <br />He looks in all directions <br />So alone is this place <br /> <br />He thinks about his woman <br />He may never see again <br />To hold her in his arms <br />Gives him strength to each days end <br /> <br />The long and hard hot long days <br />The long and cold, cold nights <br />He is fighting simply just to live <br />He is fighting to survive <br /> <br />The sole survivor <br />The strength and will of the one <br />The will to live <br />The dreams and hopes of the one <br /> <br />He wakes up on the fourth day <br />A sea gull overhead <br />In the distance he can see the land <br />He is alive and he's not dead <br /> <br />He will be coming home <br />He will hold her in his arms <br />The strength and will of the one to live <br />He kept her in his heart <br /> <br />The sole survivor <br />The strength and will of the one <br />The will to live <br />The dreams and hopes of the one.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lone-survivor/
