Jersey Clipper © Julian Shaw, 2005
What is it makes the few take on the challenge
Of racing round the world ‘cross all the seas
In boats that are themselves so small and fragile
When judged against the worst that nature brings
We know we have our reasons deep inside us
And clearly there’s still knowledge that we lack
The race will ask of us some searching questions
But we know we’ll have some answers when we’re back
We are sailing on the seas for Jersey Clipper
In search of things we yet have come to know
We are sailing hard and looking for adventure
We are alive and free
Just being you and me
Out on the rolling sea
A thousand miles from home
Fifty thousand people stood by watching
As loved and not-so-loved ones took their leave
Some to return to situations altered
Some to return with modified beliefs
Oh what a sight it was to see them mustered
Close quartered on the
Ten ships with their multicoloured beauty
It’s Leg One, it’s
We are sailing on the seas for Jersey Clipper
In search of things we yet have come to know
We are sailing hard and looking for adventure
We are alive and free
Just being you and me
Out on the rolling sea
A thousand miles from home
We are alive and free
Just being you and me
Out on the rolling sea
A thousand miles from home
