On the angry waves I am a dancer
And my own true course I'll keep
Truth and love will be my standard
'Til the day I'm dragged under the deep
Oh brother of mine, I've seen you suffer
Bendin' low under your load
Still we sang with one another
Walkin' a mile on the progress road
Oh sister dear I've seen you crying
And it makes my conscience bleed
To see how long you have been striving
And still how desperate is your need
On the angry waves I am a dancer
And my own true course I'll keep
Truth and love will be my standard
'Til the day I'm dragged under the deep
When darkness falls and faith is shaken
May our friendship never fade
'Til that morn when we awaken
To the brighter day that we have made
On the angry waves I am a dancer
And my own true course I'll keep
Truth and love will be my standard
'Til the day I'm dragged under the deep
'Til the day I'm dragged under the deep
