To Thee, I Sing….  To Thee, I sing… I have a scene, crest of blood in wave My memory of child The tides had turned, quick thought of me A poet, caught, in wild… Then cumbered few encumbered me Those times they were so bleak We ducked, then hid, and still flags flew As strong grew from those meek Still those waves, they curl me in Though landlocked now I be The whims of tide still carry me And red my blood still be In blue I find the courage now To tell the truths that lie Within my heart, my courage be A declaration, cried And I find that when I speak The meter is now found ~ ‘Tis courage is as courage does And I shall stand my ground. Speak thy heart, and speak thy soul A key to all held dear… This I speak, when waves I seek, Red, blue, white, it’s clear… To thee, I sing.  |

"In blue I find the courage now To tell the truths that lie Within my heart, my courage be A declaration, cried" and I hear you loud and clear!  |
