Hold fast, hold fast
Don't let the sails slip away
Pull for all you are worth
Don't let the winds have their way
For they push us on
In ways we never see
In a direction that is not us
The direction from which we flee
For they push us towards land
Where lie the comforts of peace
Sweet waters of certainty
and a life of ease
But we of the free, want none of that
For we push towards the unknown
Of the open sea
Towards the destiny
that will be ours
If we keep on
This struggle be
Towards the star
That shows the way
Against the winds
That blows this day
My life shall be my own
Perhaps the only thing truly mine
And I shall live as I want to
No matter the blood I pay
