My love will sail this ship Through great storms and ice floes He is not afraid as I am He is not afraid And this is why he knows the way And this is why he knows the way He knows the way Oh my brothers and sisters, he is so kind Despite the losses that have made us this sad Five blocks of sidewalk chalk he steers us clear of Blue ice skaters and animals And this is why he knows the way And this is why he knows the way He knows the way All the birds of this neighborhood are leaving Some days we feel left behind
