Through the Westward Winds Lyrics

We built our ship with flesh and bone

We hung our flag and filled the hold

We toasted to the best of friends

And set out through the westward winds

Our sails flew high above the blue

We rightfully cast our luck into

A veil of vibrant summer’s breeze

We were the masters of the seas

There you are, and here I am

Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth

We’ll see dry land again

So set your sights through the westward winds

Many years we spent our days

Sailing smooth blue brazen waves

But all good fortune woefully fades

We blindly cast our luck away

Those cold still nights foresaw no sun

With no more corn and no more rum

The seas were calm with no more wind

But we will see dry land again

Here I am, there you are

On the other side of the wreckage

There’s a place for us to start

There you are, and here I am

Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth

We’ll see dry land again

So set your sights through the westward winds

Half asleep and half awake

Our vessel clashes atop the waves

As I make my way down to you

White water breaks out of the blue

The sky burns bright, the thunder pounds

As lightning strikes our main sail down

When the bow breaks, her cradle is the wind

Until we see dry land again

Now hold your breath, and don’t look back

This ship’s goin’ down into the black

Now hold your head above the waves

We may have cast our luck away

But set your sights on the east horizon

Storm will perish, sun will rise

Many miles we’ll slowly drift

But we will see dry land again

Here I am, and there you are

On the other side of the wreckage

There’s a place for us to start

There you are, and here I am

Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth

We’ll see dry land again

Here I am, and there you are

On the other side of the wreckage

There’s a place for us to start

There you are, and here I am

Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth

We’ll see dry land again

Set your sights through the westward winds
