Through the wild, 'tween river and dale Watched by the sun, humbled by hills Sleep is mercy, though I've a ways til I'm beggin' Color me grateful for the horizon of day The breath out of one and The courage it takes to find closure In the wake of disaster Oh to find saviors, in the way of the water Steady, steady, steady Steady as a storm But lo' an ever-present home Through the shadows, beyond the gunwale The safety aboard a vessel propelled by my own will Drifting away from the danger Under the willow's t'ween the sheen of a dew Some laugh at the wind, and they- Oh some cry to their makers Listening out for an answer Dragging the river, always an urge for a wager Steady, steady, steady Steady as a storm But lo' an ever-present home Steady, steady, steady To feel the skin and oooh The journey's worth its weight in gold So, got me to the open sea With fair winds followin' In pursuit of wonder, to leave Steady, steady, steady Steady as a storm But lo' an everpresent home Steady, steady, steady Feel the skin and oooh The journey's worth its weight in gold
