Journey At Sea Songtext
von Abie Rotenberg

The ship left the port at the peak of high tide - on a course for a land far away
Seagulls escorted the tall gleaming masts - as the hull bore through the waves
The sailors aboard have all been there before - a proud weathered sea-loving crew
No landlubbers welcome to steer her across - the silk mirror sapphire blue

Their bellies are tight from the galley′s delights
And there's more than enough rum to drink
Their spirits are high and towards the clear skies
They raise up their mugs and they sing

Its our life A journey at sea - A voyage of fate and destiny
The waters will challenge the fortitude and courage of every man
The stars that light up the night they′ll be our map our compass our guide
Follow them true, follow them faithfully - till we find land


She gathers the might of the wind in her sails - behind her a proud wake of foam
Forging ahead, through the still of the night - o'er sea monsters fathoms below
But a red sky at dawn fore tolled of a storm - sending chills down the old captain's spine
Darkening clouds amassed high above - It was only a matter of time

They scurry and flail, pulling ropes tying sails
As the violent waves dance and leap
And they offer a prayer, being fully aware
That no mortal can conquer the deep

Its our life A journey at sea - A voyage of fate and destiny
The waters will challenge the fortitude and courage of every man
The stars that light up the night they′ll be our map our compass our guide
Follow them true, follow them faithfully - till we find land

The salt stings their eyes and they fear for their lives - yet they fight off their feelings of dread
For they know and believe there′s a path through the sea - that will lead to clear sailing ahead

Its our life A journey at sea - A voyage of fate and destiny
The waters will challenge the fortitude and courage of every man
The stars that light up the night they'll be our map our compass our guide
Follow them true, follow them faithfully - till we find land
