All the diamonds in this world
that mean everything to me
are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling like the sea
I ran aground in a harbour town
lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent His gull-chased ship
to carry me to sea
2, 000 years and half a world away
dying trees still will grow greener when you pray
Silver scales shine bright and fair
in the reeds along the shore
like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining
