Protected waters Threading through the islands maze or piercing deep inland

Protected waters Stretch from where the reindeer graze two thousand miles span

Protected waters

Protected waters Engineered by destruction on a continental scale

Protected waters Glacial reduction a metaphor in Braille

Protected waters

Fear not the sea is gentle, Fear not the sea is mild

But don't get too experimental with your navigation child

Beyond these walls the ocean rages bleak and dark and raw

Adventure calls come turn the pages, You've got the balls. The rock of ages

Tries to stall but what the blazes Sleek and stark allure.

Protected waters Take a life of pleasure, comfort and ease

Protected waters Take the time for leisure, your softer self appease

Protected waters

Protected waters Cosy and appealing but uneventful too

Protected waters Safe but walls and ceiling make a prison cell for you

Protected waters

Fear not the your life is gentle, Fear not your life is mild

But don't get too experimental with your ambition child

Beyond our streets there's chaos reigning, better kept at bay

The coward bleats: But tired of feigning, Strange conceits all appertaining

Rise defeating thoughts constraining, Bravely holding sway

Protected waters A place for childhood innocence a place to learn and thrive

Protected waters A base to build your confidence before you try to fly

Protected waters And rail against the notion that you're tethered to the floor

Or sail the mighty ocean as the Vikings did before Protected waters
