Sail On Lyrics

My grandfather was a sailor

Spent a life out on blue water

Searching for the schools that ran

The coast off Neah Bay

And with his Nordic hands he built

The vessel "Marna Dee"

She's forty foot of steel and wood

And built to farm the seas

Sail on

Sail on

Until you find that place where you belong

Sail on

Sail on

For life is good for those who will be strong

His gentle way of living life

Forever is entwined

With aging hands that taught the art

Of tying fishing line

The lessons that he taught me then

Took years to understand

He said choose the work you love in life boys

There you make your stand

Sail on

Sail on

Until you find that place where you belong

Sail on

Sail on

For life is good for those who will be strong

Then one day the message came

He had passed away

The old man of the sea was gone

And I miss him to this day

For he's the man who told me when

The storms of life get rough

To hold on just hold on

My grandfather was a sailor

Spent a life out on blue water

Searching for the schools that ran

The coast off Neah Bay

And with his Nordic hands he built

The vessel "Marna Dee"

She's forty foot of steel and wood

And built to farm the seas

Sail on

Sail on

Until you find that place where you belong

Sail on

Sail on

For life is good for those who will be strong
