sea of tranquility 

J. Sheppard F. Lavery 2018  

When the magic of the ocean 

 draws us close to sing  

Of calm and safe harbours 

and seabirds on the wing  

At the end of every day 

only waves and songs remain  

Sweet melody of the sea 

you’ll always be with me  

You’re my sea of tranquility  

You’re my sweetest melody  

Life’s changing tide will always lead me  

Back to my sea of tranquility  

We are born of salty water 

  We are people of the sea  

With time and tide to guide us  

That’s all we’ll ever need  

There’s a treasure in the water  

In this way of life we know  

From our brothers and our sisters  

We follow as they go  

You’re my sea of tranquility  

You’re my sweetest melody  

Life’s changing tide will always lead me  

Back to my sea of tranquility  

Searchlight through stormy blue  

Come o’er waters wide  

This boat we’ve built to carry us  

With hands and hearts of pride  

You’re my sea of tranquility  

You’re my sweetest melody  

Life’s changing tide will always lead me  

Back to my sea of tranquility
