By Original Work
Blow the %s the mainsail clear,
We clear the deck by the captain's deck,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through storms to weather we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.
Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let crew so bold guide our feet,
For the capstan round gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true love waiting away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make ready and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore shines every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the morning so still,
We pray our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where green valley 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 dream and weep with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 155 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
