The Shanty of Courageous Hearts
(Chorus)
Oh, rise, my sisters, raise the sail,
The wind is fierce, but we won’t fail!
With hearts like anchors, strong and true,
We’ll brave the storm, we’ll see it through.
(Verse 1)
The sea is dark, the waves are tall,
A shadow looms, it starts to call.
The voice of fear, a chilling gale,
But we hold fast, we will not pale.
(Chorus)
Oh, rise, my sisters, raise the sail,
The wind is fierce, but we won’t fail!
With hearts like anchors, strong and true,
We’ll brave the storm, we’ll see it through.
(Verse 2)
The current pulls, the sky is black,
The shore we knew won’t guide us back.
Yet in our bones, the compass turns,
A flame of hope within us burns.
(Bridge)
The waves may crash, the winds may roar,
But courage builds with every oar.
We’re not alone, we’re side by side,
A fleet of strength on this great tide.
(Chorus)
Oh, rise, my sisters, raise the sail,
The wind is fierce, but we won’t fail!
With hearts like anchors, strong and true,
We’ll brave the storm, we’ll see it through.
(Verse 3)
Embrace the wind, the power, the sea,
For nature’s strength lives in you and me.
Our fears may whisper, “Turn around,”
But we’ve discovered we’re ocean-bound.
(Verse 4)
Through every swell, through stormy skies,
We see the dawn, the sun will rise.
With love as ballast, hope as beam,
We’ll reach the shore, we’ll live the dream.
(Final Chorus)
Oh, rise, my sisters, raise the sail,
The wind is fierce, but we won’t fail!
With hearts like anchors, strong and true,
We’ve braved the storm, we’ve broken through.
(Outro)
So sing, my sisters, sing out strong,
This is our fight, this is our song.
The sea may test, but we’ll prevail,
Together we are the mighty gale.
