More castaways all lost at sea
In oceans spread to infinity
On beaches cast with deep despair
No thoughts of rescue anywhere
What is hope without regret
How can we cope we're not there yet
If we can't speak how can we say
These messages will just blow away
Messages that just fade away
Messages lost and blown away
Shipwrecked and lost beyond all care
It keeps us all stranded and apart
Without hope it's all just dark despair
That will break the strongest heart
What is hope without regret
How can we cope we're not there yet
If we can't speak how can we say
These messages will just blow away
Messages that just fade away
Messages lost and blown away
So many castaways lost and never found
Tossed forever and cast aground
This world is full of words unsaid
That simply rattle around in our heads
What is hope without regret
How can we cope we're not there yet
If we can't speak how can we say
These messages will just blow away
Messages that just fade away
Messages lost and blown away

That was very deep... it reminded me of a song maybe sailors would sing at sea. The repetition of rhyming made me thing of that I think... this was very nice... I loved it thank you so much for entering and good luck.
