and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and (1)____________ there's (2)______________________ dying
like the horseshoe crab in its (3)____________ seasons sheds its shell

while (26)________________ sink the heavy ship of (27)____________________ we knew
If ever you (28)________ (29)________ I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you (30)________________ as beautiful as You
