a pirates life for me

Disturb us, Lord, when

We are too pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true

Because we dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely

Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when

with the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,

To venture on wilder seas

Where storms will show Your mastery;

Where losing sight of land,

We shall find the stars.

We ask you to push back

The horizons of our hopes;

And to push back the future

In strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our Captain,

Who is Jesus Christ.

Sir Francis Drake

A pirate sang a song to me.

He sang of life upon the sea.

He sang to me with gravel tones.

He sang to me of Billy Bones.

Pirates make me happy.

A pirate sang a song to me.

He had no leg below his knee.

He sang the song the best he could;

his tongue was also made of wood.

Oo-oo

For romance, find a pirate

Ar, ar,

ar, ar, ar, ar, ar,

ar, ar, ar, ar,

ar, ar, ar, ar, ar, ar

ar, ar,

ar, ar, ar, ar, ar,

ar, ar, ar, ar,

My pirate comes from Tripoli;

my pirate curses saltily.

My pirate is not snooty;

my pirate shakes his booty.

My pirate swabs the deck;

like no one else can swab the deck.

My pirate sang a song to me;

his face was kind of barnacle-y.

He told me that my parrot stank,

and so I made him walk the plank.

oo-oo-oo-oo,

oo-oo-oo-oo,

oo-oo-oo-oo
