Lyrics
Lone Sailor's Anthem
Written by Kenny Ray Horton
Verse 1
He rests his weary head
As a red sky fades to blue waters
When he opens his eyes
He'll be just that much closer to home
He walks in his dreams through green fields
With his sons and his daughters
And with God on his side
He can never be really alone
Chorus
Hail, hail Lone Sailor man
Pray for your mother
Watch over your brother
Hail, hail Lone Sailor man
Give your life if you must
But God willing, come home when you can
Verse 2
Steadfast and strong
Is the way that we all look upon him
All his true feelings and fears
Tucked away deep inside
For he lays the blanket of freedom
America rests on
And when he faces our foes
He leaves tham with no place to hide
Chorus
Verse 3
So man raise your glass
Taost the Sailors who chose to protect us
Sailing from homeports to lands
Where dangers abound
While they're on watch
We'll sleep easy and know they'll watch over
Each one of us from Frisco Bay
Out to Long Island Sound
