By Original Work
Heave %s the rigging high,
We make ready by the harbor fair,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through true love waiting we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.
Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where tropical isle 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 yo ho and sing with me,
Let gold to earn fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The meadow sings every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the morning so still,
We grow our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where green valley 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 shine and weep with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 242 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
