Oh the Gtime will come Bmup
when the Cwinds will Gstop
and the Embreeze will Bmcease to be Gbreathin'
like the stillness in the Bmwind
before the Churricane beGgins
The hour when the D7ship comes Gin
Chorus:
Oh the sBmeas will split
and the sChip will Ghit
and the Bmsands on the shoreline will be Gshakin'
Then the Bmtide will sound
And the Cwind will Gpound
and the morning C/Gwill Gbe D7breAm7a-a-Gkin'.C/G G
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real
The hour when the ship comes in
Then they'll raise their hands
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
And like Pharoah's tribe
They'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
