The Day Your Ship Gets Thru [Glen Burtnik]

The Day Your Ship Gets Through
Written by Glen Burtnick
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick

I know it’s hard (so hard) and it ain’t like in the movies
You’re a hard working girl
We all get tired (tired of waiting)
So tired of looking for some justice in this world
But you gotta believe something comes from all the hurting
And it all don’t add up until the final curtain
Baby, I’ll stand by you until the day that your ship gets thru

The fog is rolling in, but that won’t last forever it’ll come and go by
There’s a crack in the walk, a tugging on the heart and a leak up in the sky
That’s when a seed reaches out and a flower starts unfolding and the heavens open up
Oh, just like I told you baby
I’ll stand by you until the day that your ship gets thru

No one’s gonna take advantage
No one’s gonna break your heart
Nobody’s pulling out the rug from underneath the things you love

Love - it’s the flame that burns forever
And the rain ain’t no threat
So never mind the weather baby
I’ll be standing right beside you ‘til the day that your ship gets thru
Right until the day that your ship gets thru

Interpretation

Life can be hard and isn't always fair. You are working hard hoping for something better, and I will stand by you until you get there.
