Upon the Sea

Upon the sea, a perilous tale

Upon the sea, our heroes sail

Upon the sea, do perils lie

Upon the sea, our heroes fly

Upon the sea, a ship’s aground

Upon the sea, our heroes pound

Upon the sea, a terrible sight

Upon the sea, our heroes take flight

Upon the sea, though we may die Upon the sea, our heroes try

Upon the sea, we risk our lives

Upon the sea, the Coast Guard thrives.
