gordon bok - sailor's prayer lyrics

sailor’s prayer lyrics
[verse 1]
though my sails be torn and ragged
and my mast be turned about
though the night wind chill me to my very soul
though the salt spray sting my eye
and the stars no sight provide
give me just enough morning light to hold

[chorus]
i will not lie me down
this rain a+raging
i will not lie me down in such a storm
and if this night be unblessed
i shall not take my rest until we reach another shore

[verse 2]
if the only water’s salt
and i cannot quench my thirst
i will drink the rain that falls so steady down
if night’s blindness be my gift
if there be thieves upon my drift
i will praise the dark that shelters me from them

[chorus]
i will not lie me down
this rain a+raging
i will not lie me down in such a storm
and if this night be unblessed
i shall not take my rest until we reach another shore
[verse 3]
if my friends be drained and weary
and it seems their hopes are lost
there’s no need for their bones on this blackened bottom
and if death wait just off the bow
we need not answer to him now
we’ll stand on and face the morning light without him

[chorus]
i will not lie me down
this rain a+raging
i will not lie me down in such a storm
and if this night be unblessed
i shall not take my rest until we reach another shore
