Build me a Boat

Build me a Boat

Build me a boat

To row in calm seas

Build me a boat

To sail in storms

Build me a boat

For staying upright

To stay afloat

A boat for saving lives

That's how we began

To keep our brave men safer

That's how we began

To value our brave men

ch

And so it moved on

Designing boats much safer

And so it moved on

To value our brave men

ch

Steam engines then oil

To make our rescues safer

Steam engines then oil

To value our brave men

ch

Inshore boats came in

All-weather boats made safer

Inshore boats came in

To value our brave men

ch

The gear for the crew

Equipment getting safer

The gear for the crew

To value our brave men

ch

We do what we can

But storms become no safer

We do what we can

To value our brave men

Build me a boat

To row in calm seas

Build me a boat

To sail in storms

Build me a boat

For staying upright

To stay afloat

A boat for saving lives
