The Pirate Shanty Worldwide Adventurers ( Lyrics)
Lyrics: I am not a pirate, but I long to be, Sailing by the stars across the seven seas, Living with no earthly cares, my mates and me The envy of all worldly men, who are not free. A song to sing for beggars, a song to sing for saints, A song to sing for wealthy men all wrapped and bound in chains Our treasure s not in gold, or in our piety. Our wealth is in an answered call, the longing of the sea Stormy oceans carry us to lands we ve never known, To mysteries and buried secrets from the tales of old. So hoist the sail and raise the flag, we do not stop for night. We ll ride the wild winds and waves until the morning s light In smuggler s caves and tavern halls, we live by no man s rules. We fly the colors of the living, free and proud and true We set out on the ocean blue to escape tyranny. We ll keep our merry hearts alive so long we roam the sea. A man once walked along
