This lesson you'd do well not to forget
Your life could be the one its wisdom saves
At sea, when you're beleaguered and beset
On every side by strife of wind and waves
Despite the best of maps and bravest men
For all their mighty names and massive forms
There'll never be and there has never been
A ship or fleet secure against the storms
When kings upon the main have clung to pride
And held themselves as masters of the sea
I've held them down beneath the crushing tide
Till they have learned that no one masters me
But grace can still be found within the gale
With fear and rev'rence, raise your ragged sail
