Steady As She Goes

Lyrics

I see the thunderheads rise
 In the northern sky
 And my heart is sinking
 In the threatening tide
 'cause my portside's heavy
 with the worries of life
 and the worries of dying
 on the starboard side
 Well, I wonder, am I really
 Stouthearted enough?
 'Cause the ocean is rolling
 and these waters are rough
 There's a storm cloud brewing
 In the sky above
 So let my vessel be sturdy
 Let my anchor be tough
 'Cause the clouds are known to gather
 and the wind is prone to blow
 I'll keep my eyes on the horizon
 Not below
 And keep her steady as a river
 When the wild wind comes to blow
 I've already been delivered
 So I'll keep her steady as she goes
 Well, I shiver in the wake of the raging storm
 And my rigging is tattered
 And these sails are torn
 Gonna cast this cargo overboard
 But I ain't setting my headings
 For no change in course
 Though the clouds are known to gather
 And the wind is prone to blow
 I'll keep her steady as a river
 When the wild wind comes to blow
 I've already been delivered
 So I'll keep her steady as she goes
 So when you can't find the faith to slumber
 When you're thrown by every swell
 You know that you're not going under
 With the captain at the helm
