UNHCR - The Reluctant Shanty lyrics
[UNHCR - The Reluctant Shanty lyrics]
Cast out on the ocean for all that I am
It's a chance without choice that
Has put me to sea
So I'll hold tight to hope 'til
The day I am free
So I'll leave all I know in
The search for a home
There's no way of knowing how far I must roam
I'll cling on to courage
I'll fight the wild sea
I'll hold tight to hope 'til
The day I am free
Through storms and through gunfire
We whispered goodbyes
Is this where the boat breaks?
Is this where we die?
There's a light in the dark
And it's calling to me:
"Just hold tight to hope 'til
The day you are free"
So I'll leave all I know in
Thе search for a home
Therе's no way of knowing how far I must roam
I'll cling on to courage
I'll fight the wild sea
I'll hold tight to hope 'til
The day I am free
