Hostile Waters

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
