The Sailor's Son

[Verse] In a small village by the sea A boy with hopeful eyes Waiting for his father's ship Beneath the endless skies Day by day He looks out With the waves as his guide Dreaming of the day His daddy's sail will rise In the crowded harbor Ships of colors bright The boy's heart beats faster As his eyes search the sight Longing for his father's embrace Like a lighthouse in the night He whispers to the wind "daddy Hold on tight" [Verse 2] The days turn to weeks And the weeks turn to years The boy grows older With a sadness flavored tear Still he waits With a hope that never veers For the sailor's return From a voyage filled with cheers
