- Trust in the Rolling Ocean

I’ll sail and I’ll sail
I’ll sail and I’ll sail
I’ll sail and I’ll sail
I’ll sail and I’ll sail

I’ll sail and I’ll sail and wherever I go
Where the waters are high or the pulleys are low
I’ll follow the trade winds wherever they go
And trust in the rolling ocean

I’ll sail and I’ll sail and I’ll leave this behind
Though the crossing be cruel and the currents unkind
I’ll open my heart to whatever I find
And trust in the rolling ocean

I’ll sail and I’ll sail and wherever I land
I’ll gather the bones and the stones in my hand
And count all my blessings like grains in the sand
And trust in the rolling ocean

I’ll sail and I’ll sail…

I’ll sail and I’ll sail and wherever I roam
I pray for the frigate that slices the foam
And long for the moss and the meadow of home
And trust in the rolling ocean
