[Verse 1]
Morning came cold
Salt in my beard
Lines in my hands
And fear in the wind
Bow split the wave
Deck took a heel
Then I heard it shout
From the rail to the keel
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand to the line
Grab what you can
He’s in the foam
Pull if you can
[Chorus]
Man overboard
Man overboard
Hold that rope
Bring him home
Man overboard
Man overboard
Heave and haul
Till he’s home
[Verse 2]
Lantern gone dark
Rain in our eyes
One white cap
Then a cry in the brine
I threw out my coat
You threw out the oar
Every good hand
Was a hand for the shore
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand to the line
Feel the pull
He’s still out there
Don’t let go
[Chorus]
Man overboard
Man overboard
Hold that rope
Bring him home
Man overboard
Man overboard
Heave and haul
Till he’s home
[Bridge]
Heartbeats pound
Like drums in the rain
One more pull
And we break that chain
From black to blue
From wave to foam
I see his face
And I hear our home
[Final Chorus]
Man overboard
Man overboard
Hold that rope
Bring him home
Man overboard
Man overboard
Heave and haul
Till he’s home
Man overboard
Man overboard
Raise him up
Bring him home
