Cast Away Your Fears, Oh! Pirate

Cast away my worries and sadness of yesterday

For the deepest part of the water will release our freedom

Release all the past memories of what could have been

The silence and darkness of the waters whirl deep beneath the sand

Beneath the bondage and suffering of those who believed in you

Believed in a future together, a love of a woman, and a child to bear

Cast away the pain of the world, the centuries of hunger, poverty, hate and crime

Buried deep are the treasures, seashells, rusted metal, and many bodies lie

Cold and yet warm beats the heart of the turtles swimming graciously by

Ship wrecked remains of the lost war of shame and dishonest wounds

Cast away, now cast away, your fears, Oh! Pirate

Your sail has been gone for many, many a day
