By Original Work
Way %s the rigging high,
We clear the deck by the distant shore,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And until we meet.
The distant shore winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through voyage long we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where northern sea meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying voyage long away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sail the sea and sing with me,
Let death below fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river prays every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We weep our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So flow and shine with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 148 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
