If you make a friend of time
It wouldn't matter that you have no dime
For waves that break in the mangrove beach
Will pull your ship from that sinking reef
If the lighthouse is afar
And a misty fog blocks the North star
Follow the seagulls to the left
Or north or south whichever is best
A starfish near the beach
May swim away beyond your reach
But a crab that moves sideways
May even wish you better days
An oyster that pricks your feet
Could have a pearl on some distant beach
A raft that is blown to sea
Will reach the Island of Serendib
