Green Sea Calls

Lyrics

Oh, we sail the green sea wide and free,
With the wind in our sails, merry as can be.
From Tollen’s ports, where the dyes do bloom,
To Praznitsky’s cold, ‘neath the pale moon.

Hoist the sails, catch the wind, off we go,
Trading tales, singing songs, high and low.
Halflings bold, with hearts so brave and true,
On the green sea, under skies so blue.

Past the waves, where the dragonhide gleams,
In northern Praznitsky, where the icy wind screams.
We barter and trade with the greatest of ease,
For treasures rare, ‘cross the seven seas.

Hoist the sails, catch the wind, off we go,
Trading tales, singing songs, high and low.
Halflings bold, with hearts so brave and true,
On the green sea, under skies so blue.

To Wahacha’s shores, where the kenku sing,
And the feathers of trade, to our ships we bring.
In lands far and wide, our stories unfold,
Of halfling traders, so daring and bold.

Hoist the sails, catch the wind, off we go,
Trading tales, singing songs, high and low.
Halflings bold, with hearts so brave and true,
On the green sea, under skies so blue.

Yes, on the green sea, we make our way,
Singing our shanty, day by day.

Roaming the Green Seas

Lyrics

Bright dawns in Tollen, where the colors meet,
We trade at first light, where the waters do greet.
Our sails catch the wind, as we leave the bay,
Laughing and singing, we’re on our way.

Heave ho, heave ho, ‘cross Green Sea we fly,
Dreams in our sails, under vast sky.
Deserts to snow, through calm and through storm,
Halflings wander, sea tales to form.

Northward Praznitsky, ‘neath the aurora’s glow,
Seeking rare dragonhide found in the snow.
Trade by the starlight, bright hearts alight,
Sailing at dawn, fleeing dark northern night.

Heave ho, heave ho,’cross Green Sea we fly,
Dreams in our sails, under vast sky.
Deserts to snow, through calm and through storm,
Halflings wander, sea tales to form.

Sing of Wahacha, where the kenku do dwell,
Spices and stories, we trade and we sell.
Gold for a tale, in warm sun’s embrace,
With every journey, we chart out our trace.

Heave ho, heave ho, with the Green Sea we blend,
Ancestors’ whispers, on winds they do send.
Deserts to snow, through calm and through storm,
Halflings wander, sea tales to form.
