Sea shanties
By Original Work

We face the storm by the harbor fair,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And forever more.

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

We make ready by the harbor fair,
With crew so bold filling every heart,

Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
