lyrics

When days are dark and skies are torn
When seas run heavy and the sails are worn
When the storm tossed water stings you hard enough to cry
Hold your wheel on steady and your head on high

Till harbour lights can guide you home
When nights are drawn and the stars have gone
When the wing howls angry songs at you and you alone
Don’t worry if your fingertips are cold and numb
Your faith will keep you strong until the morning’s come

Till harbour lights can guide you home
When the rigging and the mast
Are straining hard against the blast
If the gale is ripping pieces from your ship
Put your shoulder to the wheel
And keep that even keel
Scream into the hurricane defiance you can feel

Be strong of heart don’t be afraid
Through thick and thin don’t be dismayed
When future seems impossible and times all wrong
Your courage and your fortitude will keep you strong

Till harbour lights can guide you home
When the rigging and the mast
Are straining hard against the blast
If the gale is ripping pieces from your ship
Put your shoulder to the wheel
And keep that even keel
Scream into the hurricane defiance you can feel

Be strong of heart don’t be afraid
Through thick and thin don’t be dismayed
When future seems impossible and times all wrong
Your courage and your fortitude will keep you strong

Till harbour lights can guide you home
Till harbour lights can guide you home
