Bilingual
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
Courage in fear never waver
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
The lifeboat is coming to save you
We left the port all in good weather
Three friends with the sun on our backs
Fair winds to guide us, skies that were clear
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
The waves picked up high and we labored
Our steering was lost to the wind
In the depths of despair we thought the end was near
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
In times of trouble they'll be by your side
In the deepest of danger and the darkest of night
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
Courage in fear never waver
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
The lifeboat is coming to save you
Below in a car made a wish signal
In the distance a glimmer of hope
They came alongside, the three of us cried
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
Could the price of three souls be repaid?
For I am a banker by trade
With my city career, could I find purpose here?
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
In times of trouble they'll be by your side
In the deepest of danger and the darkest of night
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
Courage in fear never waver
All in hand over hand for the safety of land
The lifeboat is coming to save you
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
Now I serve with the crew on the Thames
From all different stories we came
We answer the call, we rise and we fall
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
So here's to the heroes who save us
Those strangers who risk their own lives
In the face of all peril their courage is clear
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
Sing out for the brave volunteers
Raise a glass for their two hundred years
