about

A modern sea shanty that highlights both the beauty and the dangers of the ocean, with elements of environmental conservation scattered throughout.

lyrics

Oh breathe deeply now that salty air
Hail the ocean, hail the sea
As sweet and fine as lady's fair
Long live nature's majesty

The road to distant far off lands
Is quicker under your command

The winds are in our favour now
The waves are parting 'for the bow

The waters here are filled with fish
With more than we could ever wish

There's riches lurking in the deep
Where corals grow and giants sleep

Take care my friend for she's no fool
She'll break the back of those who rule

And those who come with pipes and drills
Have no regard for what they kill

The North has made a quick retreat
The South will soon admit defeat

If we continue to delay
She'll wash humanity all away
