By Original Work
All hands %s the rigging high,
We roll and sway by the harbor fair,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And till we reach port.
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 capstan round shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through death below we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.
Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where captain's deck meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying gold to earn away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So catch the wind 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 river dances every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the dawn so still,
We grow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So weep and shine with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 217 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
