The tides are clamorous, the shore is out of sight,
My boat is marooned in the midst of ocean,
Guide me to make it through this long dark night.

The farther I sailed, wretched became the plight,
My soul is whirling and raging silent commotion,
The tides are clamorous, the shore is out of sight.

Yearning to get back home, longing to reunite,
Bestow me your rowing ores and set me in motion,
Guide me to make it through this long dark night.

In the darken sky, be my star, show me glimmer of light,
Clasp me throughout the voyage, rejuvenate my notion,
The tides are clamorous, the shore is out of sight.

Heartstring’s strumming to liven-up inner core, so quiet,
Melody causing eyes to run dewy; full of emotions,
Guide me to make it through this long dark night.

I’m feeling lonely, repentant and ever so contrite,
Take me beyond these waters, initiate mystic devotion,
The tides are clamorous, the shore is out of sight,
Guide me to make it through this long dark night.
