He stood by the sea With a face hard as oak And a voice strong and free Shouting loud, he spoke “I lived a full life In the years behind me I’ve seen hardness and strife But knew who I’d be A man among men All others I have awed I have overthrown kings And stood beside God All this I have done With my strength and my spine And all beneath the sun Knew the world was mine” All this he shouted at the sea But the waves, they rolled eternally “I loved with my heart A woman that I knew Of my soul she was part And she loved me too The strongest feelings A man could ever know Were part of our beings With all love could
