Heave Away Brave Mariners

(Chorus)
Heave away, brave mariners, row through the foam!
The wind’s in the canvas, and far lies our home.
With the salt on our lips and the stars for our guide,
We ride over waters both deep and untamed and wide!
​(Verse 1)
Out of the harbor, the oak timber creaks,
Four hundred leagues from the shores that we seek.
No land on the rim, just the green rolling sea,
And the gale at our back blowing wild, blowing free!
​(Chorus)
Heave away, brave mariners, row through the foam!
The wind’s in the canvas, and far lies our home.
With the salt on our lips and the stars for our guide,
We ride over waters both deep and untamed and wide!
​(Verse 2)
The captain stands tall at the quarterdeck’s rail,
Watching the sky as the dark clouds turn pale.
The compass points west through the misty grey morning,
With the call of the gulls as our only clear warning.
​(Chorus)
Heave away, brave mariners, row through the foam!
The wind’s in the canvas, and far lies our home.
With the salt on our lips and the stars for our guide,
We ride over waters both deep and untamed and wide!
​(Bridge)
When the heavy seas roar and the riggings do strain,
We pull on the ropes through the cold biting rain.
Hold fast to your courage, hold fast to the oars,
Till our anchor drops down on forgotten new shores!
​(Chorus)
Heave away, brave mariners, row through the foam!
The wind’s in the canvas, and far lies our home.
With the salt on our lips and the stars for our guide,
We ride over waters both deep and untamed and wide!
​(Outro)
Heave away... heave away...
Across the wide ocean to find a new day!
(Fade out on stomp and clap rhythm)
