lyrics

Setting sail today, for sea, for glory.
Cutting through the waves, both proud, and bold.
A man in charge of men, in rank, in theory.
Leaving with the brave, to distant shores.

Pray to keep us safe, the tension mounts with every passing wave.
Twenty years of age, and many more to come I shouldn't doubt.

Away for just four days, when fortune floundered.
Danger in the waves, but we, survived.
Get those lifeboats in, the ship, she's done for.
And Stewart headed back, to grab, supplies.

Pray to keep us safe, a lifeboat as a home for six-teen days.
Twenty years of age, and many more to come are now in doubt.

oooh, oooh....
Surviving day to day, with no control now.
Many more to come, or will there be?
16 days alone, and fear besets us.
But each and every man, will make, their names.

Pray to keep us safe, a lifeboat as a home for sixteen days.
Twenty years of age, and many more to come are now in doubt.
