Walt Grace
Desperately help his whole place
I dreamed of discovering a new space
And he buried himself alive
Inside his basement
It meant the tongue on the side of his face
He’s working on his placement
And what it would take to survive
Because when you are done with this world
You know that the next one depends on you
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
And his friends said he would fail if he tried
But with the desire to work hard
And a library card
He took a homemade fan blade
One man submarine ride
That morning
The sea was crazy and I mean it
Waves as big as he had seen it
Deep in his dreams at home
From the mainland
He rolled it on the wet sand
I closed the hatch with one hand
And he went away by himself
Because when you are done with this world
You know that the next one depends on you
And for once in his life he was quiet
How he learned to turn the tide
And the sky was a glow
When it came up in the air
In his homemade fan blade
One man submarine ride
One evening
When it’s been weeks since he’s gone
The call he planned to receive
He’s finally back home
Accepted
The news she never expected
The operator has connected
The call from Tokyo
Because when you are done with this world
You know that the next one depends on you
Now his friends cheer him up when they drink
At the bar with his name on the side
And they smile when they can
While they talk about the man
Which took a homemade fan blade
One man submarine ride
