lyrics

God’s Plan

You can make up a story
That’s already happened
And lay all blame at the foot of the Captain
The ship it was doomed when it left this ‘ol town
Now it sits at the bottom of Puget Sound

All rise to honor the dead
Heeding the words that the preacher said
Crossing themselves to ward off the damned
Wondering how this is all a part of God’s plan

It was one day from port
The sea was a rising
Beating the ship with the wrath of Posieden
The hull couldn’t stand it, seams started to burst
When the rudderman drowned he was only the first

“All hands on deck!“ cried the Captain
Knowing full well what was going to happen
The lifeboats were smashed and men started to pray
Wondering how their God could treat them this way

The wives and the children are helped in their grieving
By stories they desperately want to believe in
How the men stood tall to face certain death
Their memories held in the ocean’s depths

But the strain is too much, it shows on the wives
The children they try to get on with their lives
Haunted by thoughts and dreams of the men
Who gave their lives as a part of God’s plan
