Walking along the ocean shore
Observing a colorful setting sun
And a clipper ship sailing by
It's beauty equaled by none.

I wondered if the crew is sad
Leaving their loved ones behind
Not knowing when they'll return
Is this what's on their minds?

Or could they be excited
And hoping their destination
Will be reached on a calm sea
To some far away nation?

They have trust in their ship
That it will bring them back home
Adventure is in a sailor's blood
They stand together, never alone.
