The glorious Titanic,
Large and luxurious,
To everyone
About on the sea.
No one at all
Gave a thought
To what she could be
Not even sunken, gone for eternity
As she sailed,
Away from port,
Away from land.
She never saw land again.
What happened on that starry night?
Why didn’t they think?
Not give it anymore warning?
Try to save all those worth saving?
And she fell.
RMS Titanic fell from glory,
To the bottom of the sea.
Gone from me.
And all those people,
Who went to the water,
Who never saw the sun again,
Who never saw the dawn of April 15, 1912?
And all those safe,
Who did see that sunrise?
Who waited and watched the dawn?
Did they see the ones they lost flying into the dawn?
Into the dawn…
Into the dawn they watched,
Into the dawn they waited,
Into the dawn they flew, from their bodies, into the dawn.
