Submarine

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, the sea's a calling, the ocean's deep,
From the dawn of the morning, to the night we keep.
A life below the waves, where the silence sings,
In the heart of the ocean, a submariner’s dreams.

[VERSE 1]
Joined the fleet at seventeen, a Sonar Tech I’d be,
Through the depths I’ve navigated, where few have dared to see.
From seaman apprentice, I earned my way,
Through five commands I sailed, come what may.

[CHORUS]
Rest my oars, they have the watch,
Fair winds and following seas, I’ll always touch.
With dolphins to my name, and a heart of pride,
I’ve seen it all, I’ve let the ocean guide.

[VERSE 2]
Fast attack to ballistic I’ve served with might,
A journey through the depths, stars shining bright.
Senior Chief, I’ve trained the next in line,
So I can sleep soundly, while their ships will shine.

[CHORUS]
Rest my oars, they have the watch,
Fair winds and following seas, I’ll always touch.
With dolphins to my name, and a heart of pride,
I’ve seen it all, I’ve let the ocean guide.

[BRIDGE]
3 M.C., fixing ships for new patrols,
As C.C.C. Helping sailors with their dreams, ensuring all their goals.
From golden shellback to blue nose in the ice,
I’m a warrior of the sea, who pays the price.

[VERSE 3]
A command career counselor, with wisdom to share,
Paving paths for young sailors, in this life we must dare.
Start a new adventure, take the leap and fly,
From the depths of the ocean, to the wide open sky.

[CHORUS]
Rest my oars, they have the watch,
Fair winds and following seas, I’ll always touch.
With dolphins to my name, and a heart of pride,
I’ve seen it all, I’ve let the ocean guide.

[OUTRO]
So here’s to the sailors, who brave the stormy seas,
For 23 and a half years, I’ve lived limy life at sea.
With every wave that crashes, fair winds and following seas!
