Lyrics

- yet unknown, some attempts at the lyrics can be found here @The Heartland Forums. These are the current results as of Bristol -

Oh, there's a space between the stars.
There is no captain until you do.
We threw a line; we ... not ...
We're all many; we are few.

I keep my fireworks on the bridge.
Hold my crew from side to side.
Unfurl the sails, well, the world is wide.
We're all ; we are few.

Heave away, boys: heave away, now.
Heave away, that's what you do.
Heave away, heave away, now.
We're all ; we are few.

Threw a line; we did not heave it.
They are many; we are few,

There is space between the stars.
There is no captain 'til you do.
I keep my fireworks on the bridge   (Heave away, heave away, boys)
They were many; we are few.

Heave away, heave away, now
Heave away, that's what you do.

Heave away, boys; heave away, now
They were many.
