Homeward Currents Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s the mainsail clear,
We heave ho by the captain's deck,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The roll and sway echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.

Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the bowline tight gather there,
Where old ship 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 haul away and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The forest flows every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the dawn so still,
We dream our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where prairie belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let pray fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where green valley 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 weep with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 264 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
