Crowds were waiting on the quay
|
For their hero of the sea
|
From the greatest of the sea
|
A toast to freedom for everyone
|
|
He talked of fear and the cannons roar
|
Sent a thousand souls to the ocean floor
|
Victory was a simple plan
|
Put in place by no common man
|
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Haul away you restless souls
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
|
He says that he won't sail no more
|
He's banging up his uniform
|
But he cannot control his soul
|
He's got to take that pot of gold
|
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Haul away you restless souls
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
|
Ever fearless universe, hold our nations together
|
Teach these words to young and old, forever
|
|
Cut the anchor today we sail
|
On trackless seas through storm and gale
|
To where the deepest water lies
|
To the warmer winds and balmy skies
|
Never to return
|
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
Haul away you restless souls
|
Set sail for the southern star
|
