The Longing

I've seen many men wandering

all strong and brave and keen

Seen them growing into rulers

but I long for the sea

Heard a ship came from North

to our harbour for a day

and before misfortune knows

I'll be on my way

I'm all set to veer away

and I'm all set to go astray

All burdens I will leave ashore

to find what I've been longing for

Don‘t tell anyone

that this night I'll be gone

Greeting the eternal blue

right at the break of dawn

Sailing t‘wards the unknown

with my crew on the sea

And the day that I return

a hero I shall be

I'm all set to veer away

and I'm all set to go astray

All burdens I will leave ashore

to find what I've been longing for
