That One Journey

I’ve been on this ship for months now, it makes me want to yell
I wish I could escape, this place is hell.
Why I’m here I just don’t know,
All I did was steal some dough.
The crew on this ship are harsh and rude,
It is not something that allow you to get in a good mood.
This new ‘promised land’ better be good,
But I’d much rather be home if I could.
