JOURNEY AT SEA- Abie & Chananya Rotenberg and Lev Tahor- Composed by Chananya Rotenberg- Journeys 5

VERSE 1:
The ship left the port at the peak of high tide –
On a course for a land far away,
Seagulls escorted the tall gleaming masts –
As the hull bore through the waves.

The sailors aboard have all been there before –
A proud weathered sea-loving crew,
No landlubbers welcome to steer her across –
The silk mirror sapphire blue.

Their bellies are tight from the galley’s delights
And there’s more than enough rum to drink,
Their spirits are high and towards the clear skies
They raise up their mugs and they sing.

CHORUS:
It’s our life, a journey at sea –
A voyage of fate and destiny,
The waters will challenge the fortitude
And courage of every man.
The stars that light up the night
They’ll be our map, our compass, our guide,
Follow them true, follow them faithfully –
Till we find land.

VERSE 2:
She gathers the might of the wind in her sails –
Behind her, a proud wake of foam,
Forging ahead, through the still of the night –
Over sea monsters fathoms below.

But a red sky at dawn foretold of a storm –
Sending chills down the old captain’s spine,
Darkening clouds amassed high above –
It was only a matter of time.

They scurry and flail, pulling ropes, tying sails
As the violent waves dance and leap,
And they offer a prayer, being fully aware
That no mortal can conquer the deep.

CHORUS:
It’s our life, a journey at sea –
A voyage of fate and destiny,
The waters will challenge the fortitude
And courage of every man.
The stars that light up the night
They’ll be our map, our compass, our guide,
Follow them true, follow them faithfully –
Till we find land.

The salt stings their eyes and they fear for their lives –
Yet they fight off their feelings of dread,
For they know and believe there’s a path through the sea –
That will lead to clear sailing ahead.

CHORUS:
It’s our life, a journey at sea –
A voyage of fate and destiny,
The waters will challenge the fortitude
And courage of every man.
The stars that light up the night
They’ll be our map, our compass, our guide,
Follow them true, follow them faithfully –
Till we find land.
