All Because of the Boat

from Salty Dog Songs by Amanda Rose Riley

/

lyrics

Do you remember the second year?
I dragged this beat-up guitar everywhere I went for three days
And the results were so clear
What couldn't I achieve now that I had found my place?
But everyone knows that the highlight
Was a broken string at a drunken Love Hope Strength show
I got to sing with my favorite singer that night
And I got support from people I didn't even know
The greatest things that could have happened, happened on this cruise
And I'm bolder for the lesson that dreams really come true

And it's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
It's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat

But would I even make the top ten
Of incredible ways that lives have changed on this boat?
Every time we meet I get reminded again
Of people boarding after losses, after losing all hope
The one love spirit heals many scars
And gives us courage to chase the adventures that we need
Whether you've found new love or found who you are
Don't leave it behind, take it with you when you leave
Doesn't matter if you call us friends or family or a tribe
It's a bond that can't be broken and it makes us feel alive

And it's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
It's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat

And some of you are close friends and some I may never meet
But I want the best for each of you and I know you want the same for me
So here's to me and here's to you
Here's to the weekend and here's to the future
Here's to another 20 years of love and adventures with you

And it's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
It's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
It's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
It's all because of the boat, it's all because of the boat
