| Whenever you board a ship
|
| You put your life in the captain’s hands
|
| And sometimes this could be a man
|
| With a complicated inner life
|
| Your own life depends on him
|
| Gambling on his decisions
|
| Hoping for some better days
|
| On the way to a new shore
|
| Bridge:
|
| She’s the pride of our seas
|
| She is what we all admire
|
| She’s a baby in a basket
|
| A book in a bonfire
|
| Chorus:
|
| We are leaving hostile waters
|
| At full force straight ahead
|
| Watching out for good conditions
|
| Leaving behind what we dread
|
| Here we are now in open waters
|
| Pirate ships follow in our wake
|
| The navigator has a scheme
|
| To outrun all our enemies
|
| Finally we’ve reached clear waters
|
| The new shore not far from here
|
| A dangerous passage left behind
|
| With obstacles and enemies
|
| Bridge:
|
| She’s the pride of our seas
|
| She is what we all admire
|
| She’s a baby in a basket
|
| A book in a bonfire
|
| Chorus:
|
| We are leaving hostile waters
|
| At full force straight ahead
|
| Watching out for good conditions
|
| Leaving behind what we dread |
