Avast We Sail

I set to shore and find my oar
We shield our heads from the sun
All of us remain as one, trusting as a nun
Rowing through the waves
Rowing through the waves
We throw our spears and have some cheers
Fish, lock, and hook
Fish, lock, and hook
I have a pint or two three
A trip we take! Forward merrily!
Rowing through the waves (Let's go!)
Rowing through the waves (We say so!)
Just one more push we must take heed!
Our boat goes on like a watery steed!
Rowing through the waves
Rowing through the waves
Alas we go to reach the shore
But our hearts may carry forever more!
Rowing passed the waves (One we go!)
Rowing passed the waves (Hurray!)
The salt spray stings but still we sing
Our nets are full, our spirits high
The seabirds wheel across the sky
While tales of home make old eyes cry
Rowing through the waves (Heave ho!)
Rowing through the waves (Below!)
The day grows long, we share our song
With wind and wave and tide
Our brotherhood runs deep and wide
As sunset paints the ocean side
Rowing through the waves
Rowing through the waves
When stars appear, we have no fear
Our compass true and strong
Where we belong is right here long
Our hearts beat with this ancient song
Rowing through the waves (Pull together!)
Rowing through the waves (In any weather!)
Till dawn breaks new, this faithful crew
Will share this wooden home
Across the seas we chose to roam
Our shanty echoes through the foam
Rowing through the waves (One last time!)
Rowing through the waves (Feel the rhyme!)
