Waiting

Waiting

Beneath the blue moon
A thousand ships at sea
Head home through stormy waters
Is there one for me?

To Freedom

Sailing on, free.
At last in this red boat, we are
Sailing on, free.
We wildly braved the angry sea,
In the morn, hoping to get far,
Before the sun and servants bar
Sailing on, free.
