lyrics

Magellan – 2012

Not long ago when nights were only lit by fire
Men believed there were dragons at the edge of the world
And if you keep going, you’d just fall off
Lost in time, never seen again

So what made some keep going?
Point their bows toward unknown horizons
Through mutiny and maelstrom and fathoms of emotion
To land on shores mysterious and strange

Way ho, I’m sailing on a boat named Magellan
Searching for places maps don’t show
Set my direction for destiny unknown

Wood and Water, Hemp and Wind
Strength of Will combines them together into
A vessel and a dream
Through days of hope and doubt and fear and wonder
And nights of dazzling starlight in between

Way ho, I’m sailing on a boat named Magellan
Searching for places maps don’t show
Set my direction for destiny unknown

Someday I’m going to sail out on that ocean
Gonna close my eyes and place my trust in chance
And if I keep going, I just might come around again
Or maybe I’ll find dragons after all

Way ho, I’m sailing on a boat named Magellan
Searching for places maps don’t show
Set my direction for destiny unknown

about

Hal Lefferts Salisbury, Connecticut

With changes brought on by a pandemic and the onset of some hand problems, now I mostly play music on my porch for the bears and the owls. There's all kind of hootin' going on. I hope these songs find a warm place in your heart. Thanks for listening.
