[00:08.12] Oh the time will come up
[00:10.26] When the wind will stop
[00:12.13] And the breeze will cease
[00:14.17] To be breathin'
[00:16.12] Like the stillness in the wind
[00:17.89] 'Fore the hurricane begins
[00:20.10] The hour that the ship comes in
[00:24.08] Oh the seas will split
[00:25.98] And the ship will hit
[00:27.92] And the sand on the shoreline
[00:32.00] Will be shakin'
[00:32.90] And the tide will sound
[00:34.40] And the waves will pound
[00:35.84] And the mornin' will be breakin'
[00:42.03]
[00:43.85] Oh the fishes will laugh
[00:45.60] As they swim out of the path
[00:47.53] And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
[00:51.55] And the rocks on the sand
[00:53.59] Will proudly stand
[00:55.82] The hour that the ship comes in
[00:59.51] And the words that are used for
[01:01.74] To get the ship confused
[01:03.44] Will not be understood
[01:05.48] As they're spoken
[01:07.48] For the chains of the sea
[01:09.28] Will have busted in the night
[01:11.26] And be buried
[01:12.23] On the bottom of the ocean
[01:16.45]
[01:19.36] Oh a song will lift
[01:21.06] As the mainsail shifts
[01:23.34] And the boat drifts
[01:24.90] Onto the shoreline
[01:26.99] And the sun will respect
[01:28.84] Every face on the deck
[01:30.77] The hour that the ship comes in
[01:34.95] And the sands will roll out
[01:37.04] A carpet of gold
[01:38.82] For your weary toes
[01:40.56] To be a touchin'
[01:42.57] And the ship's wise men
[01:44.51] Will remind you once again
[01:46.19] That the whole wide world is watchin'
[01:56.91]
[01:58.21] Oh the foes will rise with the sleep
[02:00.71] Still in their eyes
[02:02.13] And they'll jerk from their beds
[02:04.31] And think they're dreamin'
[02:06.14] But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[02:08.67] And they'll know that it's for real
[02:10.25] The hour that the ship comes in
[02:13.86] And they'll raise their hands sayin'
[02:15.97]"We'll meet all your demands"[1]
[02:17.65] But we'll shout from the bow
[02:19.30] Your days are numbered"
[02:21.53] And like Pharaoh's tribe
[02:23.36] They'll be drownded in the tide
[02:25.24] And like Goliath they'll be conquered
[02:31.70]
