Riding Silver Wings

[Fiddle Opening] [Verse 1] Oh, a sailor was he, from the port of St. Clare, His ship met her fate, 'neath the wave's icy stare. With his journey unfinished, his vessel undone, He mustered his courage to face the new sun. [Chorus] Oh, ride the sky sailor, on wings wide as sails, When the ocean denies you, the wide sky prevails. Booked flights and full rosters, yet still he must try, From the depths of the sea to the vast, open sky. [Verse 2] The docks now behind him, an airport ahead, Each ticket sold out, each pathway seems dead. But hope's not forsaken, nor dreams left to die, For a sailor's resolve outmatches the sky. [Chorus] Oh, ride the sky sailor, on wings wide as sails, When the ocean denies you, the wide sky prevails. Booked flights and full rosters, yet still he must try, From the depths of the sea to the vast, open sky. [Bridge] In lines long he waited, his plea softly spoken, For a chance to fly home, though his heart was half-broken. From the spray of the sea to the clouds up above, He’s bound for his hearth, for his home, for his love. [Verse 3] So listen ye lads, with your feet on the ground, A sailor’s tale turns as the world spins around. Though ships may sink deep and plans go awry, There's always a path that leads through the sky. [Chorus] Ride the sky sailor, on wings wide as sails, When the ocean denies you, the wide sky prevails. Booked flights and full rosters, yet still he must try, From the depths of the sea to the vast, open sky. [Outro] So here’s to the sailor, from sea to the air, His spirit undaunted by deep sea’s despair. On currents of wind, his journey shall renew, For skies offer gateways, bold, bright, and true. [End] Oh, For skies offer gateways, bold, bright, and true-e-e-e-e-e-e.
