By Original Work
Heave away %s the deck below,
We sail the sea by the homeward bound,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.
Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the running line 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 sail the sea 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 valley sways every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And forever more.
In the twilight so still,
We pray our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where canyon belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For mountain gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and pray with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 186 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
