[Verse 1]
Hmmmm, hmmmm, low the voices rise,
Heading for the open tide,
Sails are drawn and hearts are set,
Where the coming battles lie.

Steel and salt upon the wind,
Foam beneath the keel,
Every man and every oath
Bound to what is real.

[Pre-Chorus]
Dream, oh dream of summer days,
Though winter’s drawing near,
Joy feels distant on the waves—
Still I hold it here.

[Chorus]
Carry on, oh carry me,
Down where the oceans roar,
Take these oars into the deep
For a long-forgotten shore.

I’ll return before the frost,
Or when the warm winds roam,
Wait for me where waters shine—
The waves will call me home.

[Verse 2]
Maiden voyage from the land,
Faith both strange and worn,
Guided by the stars above
And the place where I was born.

Distant sights and shadowed coasts,
Stories yet untold,
Every mile a test of will,
Every night grows cold.

[Pre-Chorus]
I was meant to stand alone,
Still I claim my right,
I would fight for hearth and home,
I would stand and fight.

[Chorus]
Carry on, oh carry me,
Down where the oceans roar,
Take these oars into the deep
For a long-forgotten shore.

I’ll return before the frost,
Or when the warm winds roam,
Wait for me where waters shine—
The waves will call me home.

[Bridge]
Hmmmm… hmmmm… hear the humming deep,
Voices of the restless sea,
Calling out through night and storm,
Whispering to me.

If I fall beneath the tide,
Let the story be—
I was bound to wind and wave,
And the endless sea.

[Final Chorus]
Carry on, oh carry me,
Though the dark may rise,
Through the storm and through the flame,
Under shattered skies.

If I return, I’ll bring the dawn
To every waiting shore—
If not, then hear me in the tide
Forever evermore.

[Outro]
Hmmmm… hmmmm… hmm hmmm…
The waves they glisten, call me home…
