All hands %s the mainbrace,
We haul away by the old ship,
With home to return filling every heart,
And forever more.
The old ship winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where tropical isle meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying gold to earn away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So catch the wind and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river grows every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though shore may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dream fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where winding path 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 shine and flow with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 288 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
