The Relationship All aboard on the relationship Are you sure you want to take this trip? What is your relation to this ship? Are you crew, captain Cruz or is this just a short term cruise? When you start tripping it is because of the crew? The crew says ‘it is dreams for sails’ Now I am afraid to sail… I am sold! But… is it me… or… though I seem so sure as I seem on shore… though the ship seems safe so is the sure as the love is deep, love aint painless.. love is so dangerous… The captain of the titanic loved his ship He died as it sank for the love of it I hope that your relation to this ship is not just crew, but captain Cruiz A voyage, not a short term cruise Can you reassure that the ship is secure? As I stand on the shore, where I am sure it is safe If it sinks, what If we never make it to the shore Damn, I sound so insecure Pessimism is a bore If the ship is not built for war Catch your breath and swim some more
