Following the age old tradition of songs associated with the sea this captures the spirit of freedom and of being at one with the elements “my heart is light and my soul is free”
Here are the Fairweather Sailors Shanty Choir performing Sea Song. It was recorded at the "Sea and Cake" workshop held on 3rd September 2017 in Broughton Staffordshire.
Lyrics
I hear the sea-song’s music Sea-song, song of the sea The waves singing and the sand blowing Sea-song, song of the sea
I sing the song of the sea I sing the song of the sea My heart is light and my soul is free I sing the song of the sea
I feel the call of the air Sea-song, song of the sea The mist rising and the sky clearing Sea-song, song of the sea
I sing the song of the sea I sing the song of the sea My heart is light and my soul is free I sing the song of the sea
I see the cloud-birds wheeling Sea-song, song of the sea The wind westerly the sky waiting Sea-song, song of the sea
I sing the song of the sea I sing the song of the sea My heart is light and my soul is free I sing the song of the sea
My heart is light and my soul is free I sing the song of the sea.
