Antarctica

Antarctica (Ernest Shackleton tribute) To your shores came as a pilgrim Knowing that I wasn’t welcome All I wanted was to walk Across your land of ice and rock But you trapped my ship in ice Blew cold winds into my eyes Wanted me to pay the price Hardship’n’ pain did not suffice I won’t give up! No, I won’t stop! On the wings of faith and hope Between sky and endless depth I’ll walk the line of life and death My chances aren’t of greatest height To save the lives you tried to smite You’ve gotta know I’m gonna fight As it’s my duty and it's my right!
