Drop a flag to fly at half mast For the life I left behind Open fire twenty-one gun blast Salute the ones denied The life of a sailor has called me by name To fly with the winds of the sea Rush over oceans and canyon ravines I'm so much more than a boy on the sea Out here I'm conquering mountainous waves Riding the seafarer straits Gonna meet you at the docks where you let me go Can't wait for the day, O tide bring me home To find new ground will prove a great test With so much to explore Now as I sit atop the crow's nest I long to see the shore The life of a sailor has called me by name To venture the depths of my destiny You know I can't wait to return, but today I fly with the winds of the sea Rush over oceans and canyon ravines I'm so much more than a boy on the sea Out here I'm conquering mountainous waves Riding the seafarer straits Gonna meet you at the docks where you let me go Can't wait for the day, O tide bring me home And now we're on a steady voyage Close to yelling "land ahoy" It's been an honour brother And now we're on a steady voyage Close to yelling "land ahoy" It's been an honour brother I see you standing at the dock Like you did long ago I rushed over oceans and canyon ravines I'm so much more than a boy on the sea Out here I conquered the mountainous waves Picturing this when I prayed I would meet you at the dock where you let me go Now I can say, O tide, I am home
