The Sea, the Violent Sea

Upon the sea, the turbulent sea
I see a ship, a sailing forth
It’s being tossed, tossed so hard
That I’m afraid it’ll fall off course

So maybe I, the lighthouse keeper
Can guide her in and save the day
Oh look upon, the bright lit beacon
Sail, oh ship and come my way

Now, she ports, she has set anchor
Now the men, they come to land
May they stay, stay in safe harbor
Another day, they can sail again
