Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Aye, a young buccaneer sails the seven seas,
Chasing gold doubloons and adventure with ease.
He’s got a map in his hand, dreams in his eyes,
But the ocean’s full of danger, it’s no surprise.
He’s heard the tales of fortune, treasure chests untold,
But the waters be treacherous, and the nights be cold.
He’s got to steer his ship through the storms and squalls,
But he keeps on hearing this haunting call:
(Chorus)
Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,
Stick to the rivers and the seas that you’re used to.
I know that ye be wantin’ more,
But sometimes treasure’s just not worth the war.
(Verse 2)
Aye, another day breaks and the sails are set high,
With the sun on the horizon and a gleam in his eye.
But the sea is a mistress, both fierce and kind,
She’ll take what ye give, but she’ll rob ye blind.
He’s got a crew of brave souls, they’ll fight till the end,
But every now and then, he’s lost another friend.
He’s got a compass that spins, and a heart full of dreams,
But he can’t help but listen to the sea’s dark schemes.
(Chorus)
Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,
Stick to the rivers and the seas that you’re used to.
I know that ye be wantin’ more,
But sometimes treasure’s just not worth the war.
(Bridge)
Yarr, the life of a pirate, it’s a perilous quest,
With the moon as your guide and the stars as your rest.
But remember, young sailor, when the sea calls your name,
Not all that glitters is worth the flame.
(Verse 3)
Aye, he’s learned the hard way, through storm and strife,
That the greatest treasure is a peaceful life.
So he steers his ship toward calmer bays,
With the lessons of the sea guiding his ways.
He’s got tales of glory, and some of woe,
But he’s found a new path, a safer flow.
And as he sails toward the setting sun,
He hums this tune, his journey’s begun:
(instrumental)
(Chorus)
Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,
Stick to the rivers and the seas that you’re used to.
I know that ye be wantin’ more,
But sometimes treasure’s just not worth the war.
(Outro)
Yarr, don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,
The seas be callin’, but beware the squalls.
Find your own way, through calm and storm,
And in your heart, keep the pirate’s norm.
(Chorus)
Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,
Stick to the rivers and the seas that you’re used to.
I know that ye be wantin’ more,
But sometimes treasure’s just not worth the war.
