We Are Sailors

We are sailors through all the many years We've learned to work the lines and sails And overcome our fears We leaned upon each other's skills To get us through the storm Aboard the ship of life me friends You know this is the norm We are sailors The seas will be a challenge Lest you navigate them well Don't under rate her power Or you'll know you've been to hell We are sailors through all the many years We've learned to work the lines and sails And overcome our fears We leaned upon each other's skills To get us through the storm Aboard the ship of life me friends You know this is the norm We are sailors The salt spray hit our faces And the howling gales we fought Still we had to keep our footing While we're logging in the knots We are sailors through all the many years We've learned to work the lines and sails And overcome our fears We leaned upon each other's skills To get us through the storm Aboard the ship of life me friends You know this is the norm We are sailors Growl you may but go you must It is the sailor's curse We'll justify the voyage With gold pieces in our purse We are sailors through all the many years We've learned to work the lines and sails And overcome our fears We leaned upon each other's skills To get us through the storm Aboard the ship of life me friends You know this is the norm We are sailors Whidbey sailors
