Kiss the Ground

Kiss the ground,
Before you start out to sea.
With your head held up high,
Standing tall on two feet.

Remember the sweet scent,
Of those summer nights.
Dancing around the raging fires,
With their flames burning bright.

Fear not what's to come,
When the sun rises into the sky.
If tonight's truly all we have left,
We better make what's good in life.

Remember the lover,
That you are leaving far behind.
Don't show your tears,
But release what's in your mind.

Kiss the ground,
Before you start out to see.
But not until you give,
One last kiss to me.
