It takes a nautical man to sail this ship we're on
It takes a nautical man to navigate this storm
It happens now and again -- we stumble, and we fall
But we will prevail in the end
It takes a mountain of men to reach up to the moon
It takes a lot of good vision to realize this dream
We whisper and we scream
It happens now and again -- we borrow, and we loan
We celebrate the sea
It happens now and again -- it happens now and again
