Maritime Anthem

Salt on my lips Wind in my hair (hey!) Names on the hull Like a prayer We came from corners Of a turning map Different tongues Same laugh You got ankles swinging Off the rusted rail Singing out a story Like a weathered sail Every tide writes On our skin Every wave says "Let me in" Heartbeat steady To the foam Every port Feels like home This is our Maritime Anthem Sing it where the coastlines bend From the docks to the deep horizon Let the water carry every friend Raise your voice with the rising swell Call my name where the gulls rebel This is our maritime anthem Every shore, the same old spell
