The Sailor’s Prayer
“The Sailor’s Prayer” is a heartfelt ballad that captures the longing, hope, and quiet strength of those who live by the sea. Sung with Edward Le Page’s signature tenor warmth, the song blends folk melody and classical depth, evoking the timeless pull between home and horizon. A reflection on love, distance, and return — it’s both intimate and eternal.
Lyrics
Where the gulls cry on the harbour,
And the tide rolls out to sea,
I have left my heart behind me,
Where the island waits for me.
O hear my song, O hear my prayer,
Carry me home through the salt and air.
Though storms may rise and shadows fall,
The sea will guide me homeward, after all.
Every lantern on the shoreline,
Is a star to guide me near.
Every whisper on the water,
Is the voice I long to hear.
O hear my song, O hear my prayer,
Carry me home through the salt and air.
Though storms may rise and shadows fall,
The sea will guide me homeward, after all.
Should I wander far and wide,
Still the tide will call my name.
On the waves my soul will ride,
Back to where it all began.
O hear my song, O hear my prayer,
Carry me home through the salt and air.
Though storms may rise and shadows fall,
The sea will guide me homeward, after all.
