Whenever you board a ship You put your life in the captain's hands And sometimes this could be a man With a complicated inner life Your own life depends on him Gambling on his decisions Hoping for some better days On the way to a new shore Bridge: She's the pride of our seas She is what we all admire She's a baby in a basket A book in a bonfire Chorus: We are leaving hostile waters At full force straight ahead Watching out for good conditions Leaving behind what we dread Here we are now in open waters Pirate ships follow in our wake The navigator has a scheme To outrun all our enemies Finally we've reached clear waters The new shore not far from here A dangerous passage left behind With obstacles and enemies Bridge: She's the pride of our seas She is what we all admire She's a baby in a basket A book in a bonfire Chorus: We are leaving hostile waters At full force straight ahead Watching out for good conditions Leaving behind what we dread
