Though the sails be torn and tattered
And the mast be turned about
And the night wind chills me
Though the salt may sting my eyes
and the stars no light provide
Give me just another morning light to hold

I will not lie down in such a storm
And if there's night beyond last,
till I reach another shore
Though the only water left be
but salt to wound my thirst,
that pours so steady down.
Though night's blinds be my gift,
and there be thieves upon my drift,
I will praise this fog that shelters me all
I will not lie me down, this rain raging
I will not lie me down, in such a storm
And if there's night beyond last
till I reach another shore
Though my mates be worn and weary
And believe our hopes are lost
there's no need for their bones
upon that blackened bottom.
Though death waits just off the bow,
they will not answer to Him now.
the morning light without them.
I will not lie me down, this rain a -raging.

And if there's night beyond blast
Till I reach another shore
I will not lie down in such a storm
And if this night be our last
Till I reach another shore
Till I reach another shore you
