Am                  G
Are we crossing the border of the pale,
C                    D          E
is this the end, the end of our tale?
Am                  G
  Are we saying goodbye to old friends
C         D        E
sailing away on a crave?

Am        G
Wisdom to understand,

kindness of strength,
Am       G
mercy in victory,
  F      G      E

Nothing is turning our ships off the course,
C                     D               E
day after day heading straight to the source.
Am                      G
No one is sailing these seas of harm,
C           D      E
sailing without remorse.

Am        G
Wisdom to understand,
F           E
kindness of strength,
Am       G
mercy in victory,
  F      G      E
majestic foundation.
