"After fift one years, I am returning to the Pacific
Aye, I will walk upon the beaches, and
As I gaze out to Sea, I will not be alone
You, for my shipmates will be with me, Whispering
Remember…………Remember
Yea, I am not alone, When my maker calls for me
He will gently take my Hand, and, Lead to my ship
We, will cast off the lines and Sail the Seas in the Sky
Together and Forever"
