Casting off in search of virgin shores
I bid farewell to all I once adored
Never knowing what my fortunes hold
I'm sailing on where the four winds blow
Like secret whispers carried on the breeze
And silent monsters stirring in the seas
I feel the tension as the shadows grow
And face the storm as the four winds blow
Now I’m blinded by the driving rain
And the waves are crashing to and fro
Now I don’t know if it’s all in vain
When this flag once flown high is laid so low
Lost the stars within the myst of fate
No constellations to navigate
Now I’m drifting as the currents flow
Swept away where the four winds blow
Still I’m hopeful and I’m holding fast
‘Til the sunlight begins to show
And I'll remain right here tied to the mast
‘Til the standard that I fly, is once more soaring high, where I go
