When The Ship Comes In
Marcus Carl Franklin Lyrics

Oh, the time will come up
A time will come very soon

When the winds will stop
When the winds will no longer be blowing

And the breeze
And the light wind

Will cease to be breathin'
Will stop blowing

Like the stillness
Like the calmness

In the wind
In the midst of the wind

'Fore the hurricane begins
Before the terrible storm happens

The hour
The exact moment of time

When the ship comes in
When the ship finally arrives at the port

Oh, the seas will split
The waters of the ocean will divide

And the ship will hit
And the ship will stop in the port

And the sands
And the sands of the shore

On the shoreline
Located on the edge of the water

Will be shaking
Will be moving and trembling

Then the tide will sound
Then the waves will loudly crash

And the wind will pound
And the strong wind will hit with force

And the morning
And the start of the day

Will be breaking
Will begin to occur

Oh the fishes will laugh
The fishes will respond with happiness

As they swim out of the path
As they quickly move out of the way

And the seagulls
And the birds by the sea

They'll be smiling
They'll express happiness

And the rocks on the sand
And the stones on the shore

Will proudly stand
Will remain solid and unmoving

The hour
The exact moment of time

That the ship comes in
When the ship finally arrives at the port

And the words that are used
And the language that is spoken

For to get the ship confused
To try to cause confusion for the vessel

Will not be understood
Will not be comprehended or effective

As they're spoken
When they are being said

For the chains of the sea
Because the restraints of the ocean

Will have busted in the night
Will have broken apart during the night

And will be buried
And will remain at the bottom of the water

At the bottom of the ocean
At the bottom of the sea

A song will lift
A song will rise up

As the mainsail shifts
As the large sail moves

And the boat drifts
And the boat continues to move slowly

On to the shoreline
Approaching the water's edge

And the sun will respect
And the sun will honor or acknowledge

Every face on the deck
Every person aboard the ship

The hour
The exact moment of time

That the ship comes in
When the ship finally arrives at the port

Then the sands will roll
Then the sand will move forward

Out a carpet of gold
Making a pathway of wealth or riches

For your weary toes
For your tired feet

To be a-touchin'
To be touching

And the ship's wise men
And the important, knowledgeable people on the ship

Will remind you once again
Will tell you again or remember to mention

That the whole wide world
That the entire planet

Is watchin'
Is observing or being aware of

Oh, the foes will rise
Enemies will emerge

With the sleep
Still feeling very tired and sluggish

Still in their eyes
With the evidence of sleep in their eyes

And they'll jerk
And they'll suddenly move or shake

From their beds
From the place where they sleep

And think they're dreamin'
And believe they are experiencing a dream

But they'll pinch themselves
But they'll grasp at their skin or flesh with some force

And squeal
And suddenly make a loud high-pitched noise

And know that it's for real
And realize that what they are experiencing is genuine

The hour
The exact moment of time

When the ship comes in
When the ship finally arrives at the port

Then they'll raise their hands
Then they will lift their hands into the air

Sayin'
Saying

We'll meet all your demands
We will satisfy all the requests

But we'll shout from the bow
But we will yell loudly from the front of the ship

Your days are numbered
Your days are limited

And like Pharaoh's tribe
And like the community ruled by Pharaoh

They'll be drownded in the tide
They will be completely submerged in the water's current

And like Goliath
And like Goliath in the Bible story

They'll be conquered
They will be defeated or overcome
