"Sea Fever"
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be
denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
John Masefield

CHASE THE DOG STAR
OVER THE SEA
HOME WHERE MY TRUE LOVE IS WAITING FOR ME
ROPE THE SOUTH WIND
CANVAS THE STARS
HARNESS THE MOONLIGHT
SO SHE CAN SAFELY GO
ROUND THE CAPE HORN TO VALPARAISO
RED THE PORT LIGHT
STARBOARD THE GREEN
HOW WILL SHE KNOW OF THE DEVILS I'VE SEEN
CROSS IN THE SKY, STAR OF THE SEA
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT, THERE SHE CAN SAFELY GO
ROUND THE CAPE HORN TO VALPARAISO, VALPARAISO
AND EVERY ROAD I WALKED WOULD TAKE ME DOWN TO THE SEA
WITH EVERY BROKEN PROMISE IN MY SACK
AND EVERY LOVE WOULD ALWAYS SEND THE SHIP OF MY HEART
OVER THE ROLLING SEA
IF I SHOULD DIE
AND WATER'S MY GRAVE
SHE'LL NEVER KNOW IF I'M DAMNED OR I'M SAVED
SEE THE GHOST FLY OVER THE SEA
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT, THERE SHE CAN SAFELY GO
ROUND THE CAPE HORN TO VALPARAISO
by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Can i get your hand to write on
Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on
Take a look its on display...for you
Coming down, no not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up its on with stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pickin up but not too strong...for you
Take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
Fly on...my wind
Rebel and a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look it's on display
For you...comin down, no not today
[chorus]
In the water where i centre my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We'll find a place together
[chorus]
In the water where i centre my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We're going to live forever
by 'N Sync
Well it's not far down to paradise
At least not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me
It's not far to Never-Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me
Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All the world in a reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing (takes me away) takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be (where I wanna be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free
Ahhh....
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if he wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me
Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free (FREE!)
Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be (I've always heard it could be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free yeah.
by Richard Marx
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
How it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

Listen
children, to the story
That
was written long ago
About
a kingdom on a mountain
And
the valley folk below
On
the mountain was a treasure
Buried
deep beneath the stone
And
the valley people swore
They'd
have it for their very own
Chorus:
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go
ahead and cheat a friend
Do
it in the name of heaven
You
can justify it in the end
There
won't be any trumpets blowing
Come
the judgment day
On
the bloody morning after..... one tin soldier rides away
So
the people of the valley
Sent
a message up the hill
Asking
for the buried treasure,
Tons
of gold for which they'd kill
Came
the answer from the mountain,
With
our brothers we will share
All
the secrets of our kingdom
All
the riches buried there........
Now
the valley cried with anger,
Mount
your horses, draw your swords!
And
they killed the mountain people
So
they won their just reward
Now
they stood beside the treasure
On
the mountain dark and red
Turned
the stone and looked beneath it --
"Peace
on Earth", was all it said.
(Chorus)
