A Crew Bold and Free
Folk
Lyrics
Description
We ship from Alder Port at dawn, With a broken mast and a stubborn song.
The salty spray, a cold sharp sting, The crow's nest calls, the watch bells ring.
Through the midnight galley, and thunders roar, We hold the line, we seek the shore.
We are the tide — bold and free, Names etched deep in the roaring sea.
With every wave, our spirits climb, A crew united, beyond all time.
The Jolly Roger flaps in wind, A lost rope swings, but hearts won't bend.
Star charts inked with hope and dreams, Our compass points to distant gleams.
Through the midnight galley, and thunders roar, We hold the line, we seek the shore.
We are the tide — bold and free, Names etched deep in the roaring sea.
With every wave, our spirits climb, A crew united, beyond all time.
If I should fall like the lantern still, My song will steer you past the chill,
Through storm and shadow, hold the flame, Our legacy burns an endless name.
We are the tide — bold and free, From Alderport to the endless sea.
Raise your voices, sing with me, A legend born from unity.
Stamp and clap, the rhythm calls, Our hearts entwined within these walls.
The ocean's hem, a soaring plea, We sail forever, bold and free.
