Marooned

I’ve worked it out atau
I know what's happened
I've been marooned
Just like Robinson Crusoe
I can't remember a shipwreck
But I do remember the storm
When the whole world went dark
And I felt like a tiny object
Tossed and thrown around finally into oblivion.
Yes that's it a huge storm
It's quite calm now
A lot of the time,
Although there are some pretty big gusts now and then
The only problem I'm on my own
I can see all the others
Safe, together
I've jumped around shouting
Waving-haven't tried fires yet.
They've waved back-calling:
Even sent small crafts to rescue me
They never quite made it.
Well I guess i just have to do it on my own
What made my mind up?
Well, there's no man Friday is there?
Come to that
No Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday either.
Only joking
Truth is I want to be a part of life again.
Maybe make a difference.
I know there is one who expects it of me, and I won't disappoint him.
