Tempest’s Blessing

Solo: When the winds do whip and sway, And the storm is on its way, We’ll hoist the sails and brave the spray, Pray the seas will not betray. Chorus: Heave ho, lads, through the crashing spray, Keep us steady, come what may, God willing, we’ll see the morning light, And sing our shanty into the night! Solo: They hide us from the watchful eye, Danger lurks both low and high, Countless ships have faced their final rest, But here we stand, still blessed, still blessed. Chorus: Heave ho, lads, through the crashing spray, Keep us steady, come what may, God willing, we’ll see the morning light, And sing our shanty into the night! Solo: The waves may try to sink us deep, But the old gods watch and keep, With the storm’s rage we shall contend, And our voyage never end. Chorus: Heave ho, lads, through the crashing spray, Keep us steady, come what may, God willing, we’ll see the morning light, And sing our shanty into the night! Solo: The tempest’s roar is fierce and wild, But we’re bold and we’re beguiled, One brave night, and we survive, Makes us stronger, keeps us alive. Chorus: Heave ho, lads, through the crashing spray, Keep us steady, come what may, God willing, we’ll see the morning light, And sing our shanty into the night! Solo: Fate will tell if we will sway, Or be lost to the watery grey, Every f***t and every cry, Makes us live and never die. Chorus: Heave ho, lads, through the crashing spray, Keep us steady, come what may, God willing, we’ll see the morning light, And sing our shanty into the night!
