Southern Star Songtext / Lyric

Crowds were waiting on the quay

For their hero of the sea

From the greatest of the sea

A toast to freedom for everyone

He talked of fear and the cannons roar

Sent a thousand souls to the ocean floor

Victory was a simple plan

Put in place by no common man

Set sail for the southern star

Set sail for the southern star

Haul away you restless souls

Set sail for the southern star

He says that he won't sail no more

He's banging up his uniform

But he cannot control his soul

He's got to take that pot of gold

Set sail for the southern star

Set sail for the southern star

Haul away you restless souls

Set sail for the southern star

Ever fearless universe, hold our nations together

Teach these words to young and old, forever

Cut the anchor today we sail

On trackless seas through storm and gale

To where the deepest water lies

To the warmer winds and balmy skies

Never to return

Set sail for the southern star

Set sail for the southern star

Haul away you restless souls

Set sail for the southern star
