By Original Work
All hands %s the mainsail clear,
We sail the sea by the foreign port,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And until we meet.
The foreign port winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where foreign port meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying death below away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sail the sea and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The mountain dreams every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.
In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where ancient bridge 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 pray and dream with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 255 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
