Lyrics:

The ship left the port at the peak of high tide, on course for a land far away
Seagulls escorted the tall gleaming masts as the hull bored through the waves
The sailors aboard have all been there before - a proud, weathered sea-loving crew
No landlubbers welcome to steer her across the silk mirrored sapphire blue

Their bellies are tight from the galley's delights and there’s more than enough rum to drink
Their spirits are high and towards the clear sky - they raise up their mugs and they sing

IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TIL WE FIND LAND

She gathered the might of the wind in her sails, behind her a proud wake of foam
Forging ahead through the still of the night, over sea monsters fathoms below
But a red sky at dawn foretold of a storm sending chills down the old captain's spine
Darkening clouds amassed high above, ‘twas only a matter of time

They scurry and flail pulling ropes tying sails as the violent waves dance and leap
And they offer a prayer being fully aware that no mortal can conquer the deep

IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TIL WE FIND LAND

The salt stings their eyes and they fear for their lives, yet they fight off their feelings of dread
For they know and believe, there’s a path through the sea – that will lead to clear sailing ahead

IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TILL WE FIND LAND
