By Original Work
Roll the %s the mainsail clear,
We roll and sway by the homeward bound,
With home to return filling every heart,
And when land is seen.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the running line shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By old ship 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 sea so blue they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where captain's deck meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying storms to weather away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The starlight weeps every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let grow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dream and dance with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 159 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
