never found my fishing

i choose "john the fisherman" by primus. mostly.. it was due to the bass in the song.. and i liked the tune.. and i wanted to pick a song no one else did.

here's the lyrics:

When he was young you�d not find him doing well in school,
His mind would turn unto the waters.
Always the focus of adolescent ridicule,
He has no time for farmer�s daughters.
Alienated from the clique society,
A lonely boy finds peace in fishing.
His mother says john this is not the way life�s supposed to be.
Don�t you see the life that you are missing?
And he says...
When I grow up I want to be,
One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.

Now years gone by we find man that rules the sea.
He sets out on a dark may morning.
To bring his catch back to this small community.
He doesn�t see the danger dawning.
Four hours up, oh the ocean swelled and swelled,
The fog rolled in it started raining.
The starboard bow. oh my God we�re going down!
The do not hear his frantic mayday.
And he says
When I grow up I want to be,
One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.
I�ll live and die a fisherman.
Calling john the fisherman.

the difference between my life and John's is.. i never found my "fishing".
