What you gonna hold against her now

Would you rather were to sing her praises?

Working from the stern right up to the bow

Learning how to find her secret places

What you gonna say as they shut their eyes?

Yearning to remain in their good graces

Will you smell the sea, will you see the sky?

Painted on their young and hopeful faces

Something to believe

Somewhere to be free

A sanctuary at sea
