Overbearing Lyrics

Sailing along over the sea

Look out now lad you're no powder monkey

I pull the halyard rotating the boom

Tightening the winch so the sheet will have room

The other sailors they respect you

If you pull your weight then the ship will make do

I swab the decks bring captain his food

Trim the mainsails they're a little askew

Yer doing alright working under the moon

If you do a good job then you'll earn some doubloons

I trim the jib. We run with the wind

Gathering the strength I've always had within

It's dinner time now you don't get to relax

Pass me that grog still seal with beeswax

I serve the meals then clean the kitchen

Anything I can do to help pitch in

A brotherhood out on the sea

Yar one of us lad, just listen to me

And we keep sailing along

Together we're strong

Into danger we are traveling headlong

Climb up the sails to the crow's nest

Hold the mast tight the winds from the southwest

I look out there the ocean's waves

Gripping tight else I fall to my grave

Yer a brave lad, now come on down

We need you to survive till we reach the port town

I think I've found them. These men are my family

And after all these years, I'm not alone

A brotherhood out on the sea

Yar one of us lad, just listen to me

And we keep sailing along

Together we're strong

Into danger we are traveling headlong
