the weight of a steamliner

i am pulling a steamliner
i would like to be rowing a boat.

there's dead weight here
someone's not pulling thier portion
i'm not talking about the church
i would rather laugh and be funny
but will God see me there too?
i won't open-i have no courage to
can't He see me when I am alive like this?

Deep calls, 'Too Deep!'

why would that matter?
there's a dead weight, that's the point here
the place has seen too much
done too little
can't i row the boat instead
come to the gate--come in

and be
