Sailing Oceans Bound
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the mainbrace,
We heave ho by the northern sea,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through home to return we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the halyard fast 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 clear the deck and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The mountain calls every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We shine our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through lost love we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though prairie 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 silvery stream 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 dance and pray with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 232 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
