In the sunshine
He starts the engine
He gently guides the boat
Towards the destination
Then comes the storm
Pausing the journey
At night while resting
He gazes at the stars
He thinks about the universe
At dawn, he resumes the journey
Chatting with his buddies on board
They leave when their islands arrive
The boatman rows on and on
He thinks about the journey
His eyes catch a glimpse
Of life everywhere
In the air
In the water
In and on the earth
He thinks about life
He becomes one with the serenity
Of the blue sky
And of the water
He wishes the peace to last for ever
He thinks about the wars
He builds a new boat
Solving a hundred problems
Buddies join him to celebrate
The marvel the boatman created
He thinks about harmony
