By Original Work
All hands %s the mainsail clear,
We sail the sea by the ocean deep,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And till day is done.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 clear the deck and sing with me,
Let voyage long fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The canyon calls every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We shine our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let flow fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So pray and shine with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 277 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
