Life at Sea

Catch the wind in open sail
Harbour its great force
Listen to the song it sings
Nature’s one true voice

Stretching canvas with the wind
Power, thrust, invisible, divine
Moving forward through the sea
Kamikaze saving time

Mariners taking full advantage
Wind seems to power freely
Never take the wind for granted
Least your life be taken quickly

The sea is moved by wind alone
Across the ocean void
Look to the land we call home
Distant life on land annulled

Life at sea on skimming Clipper
No wife on Land or children’s laughs
This is the life I love at sea
I am the windswept Skipper
