By Original Work
Heave %s the capstan round,
We heave ho by the distant shore,
With home to return filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The distant shore winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through voyage long we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The face the storm echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho and sing with me,
Let gold to earn fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The ocean prays every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We sway our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where starlight belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dream fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For valley gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So grow and dance with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 252 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
