Oh see the wind rage through the trees
Like rolling waves on angry seas
Above those masts that rise so high
As giant arms reach for the sky
They swing and sway to touch each cloud
While seagulls screech and cry aloud.
Give me the strength to pass the test
And courage to survive the rest
How many dreams have come and gone
That we have pinned our hopes upon
To find at last we shall succeed
Because our love exceeds our need !
