By Original Work
Way %s to the winch,
We clear the deck by the ocean deep,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where captain's deck meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying promise made away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So find the shore and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest dreams every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We play our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For ocean gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So grow and sway with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 10 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
