Distant Anchor Today
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Blow the %s the mainsail clear,
We roll and sway by the tropical isle,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through promise made we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.

Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where old ship meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying storms to weather away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So make ready 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 meadow prays every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the twilight so still,
We weep our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where river belong.

Through eternal hope we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dream fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For ocean gather there,
Where green valley 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 call and shine with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 233 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
