The Seafarers Journey

Up and down 
left and right
we row and row 

to seek the treasures
abundant on this land
mutual aid is needed
you cannot succeed on your own
remember, no man is an island

Up and down 
left and right
we row and row
Behind every enterprise, there is support.
Individuals who show support
with hope and confidence 
be it a small or big aid
one cannot rise on its own
without other people helping 
working together side by side 

Up and down 
left and right
we row and row

We can reach our purpose,
we can, we can 
If we work together
we will reach it, before long.




Up and down 
left and right
we row and row
Challenges that we may face
be it rough sea currents
drenching us with waves after waves
drowning our spirits 
even getting chased by wild savages 
that wants to eat us 
or hunted down by a pack of vicious lions 
as long as we help each other 
we will come through it
reaching our admired goal
side by side, gloriously 

Some say that 
the power of one is strong 
however, being alone 
makes one vulnerable
to be attack from many sides
having trusting allies 
being alongside of each other
helping each other  
we are sure to win 

As the saying goes
a single stick 
breaks easily
a bundled of sticks
stays strong






Up and down 
left and right
we row and row

such is the same for wolves’
they work as a pack 
they are strong as a pack 
they succeed as a pack
they have each other’s backs
So do a ship 
if the crew is organized
the ship crew’s functions well
the journey will reach its destination
if the ship crew is in disarray 
it will bicker and plot schemes 
that will destroy each other
leading to ruin 
surely it will sink the ship
All for one, one for all
we rise 
when united 
we fall 
when divided
Up and down 
left and right
we row and row

the world’s bounty is open for us
to acquire and enjoy it. 
Nothing is impossible 
being united, anything is possible 





Up and down 
left and right
we row and row 

there it is
land ho, land ho
the place that has it
the treasures that we seek

Up and down 
left and right
we row and row
We are HERE
anchors away boys
we can land now
celebrating our success 
to rest our laurels
enjoying our well-earned rewards 
of our achieved dreams
