Drifting Oceans Today
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Blow the %s the anchor chain,
We face the storm by the tropical isle,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart...

We heave ho by the ocean deep,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The distant shore holds their glory,
