lyrics

On the day the ocean swelled
You stood your ground and faced the gale
Never had you sailed so far
As you prepared to cross the bar
And now you've reached the time
Ride out the waves, roll with the tide
Now as you let down your guard
Never was setting sail so hard

You've done your task, you've played your part
It's time to take some R and R
You earned your pass to take your leave
To sail to the eternal seas
And now you've reached the time
Ride out the waves, roll with the tide
We'll let you go, let down your guard
But never was setting sail so hard

Cut loose the ropes, anchors aweigh, set a new course
So turn your back to this old shore
You're bound for glory
Time to head for home

It's hard to think our time will come
When we admit our work is done
Drop the gloves and sound the horn
It's time to quit surrender arms
And now you've reached the time
Ride out the waves, roll with the tide
But I must swear as you depart
Never was setting sail so hard
