Forward stride I
With a spring in my step
A song in my heart
And a thought in my head

Forward stride I 
Far into the unknown
Back to the sea
Returning to my home

Forward stride I
Forward stride I
Spinning yarns and telling tales
Forward stride I

I know not where I'll get to
I know not where I'll roam
But in whatever land I put to port
The sea is always home

Forward stride I
Forward stride I
Sailing through the storms and gales
Forward stride I
