We are all born free but forever live in chains,
and we battle through existence on and on!
We'll take [bad word] to be,
while keeping hopeful melody
and we'll [bad word] through the darkness
until the warmth of dawn

So Row Row ya [bad word] 
Ya never can tell!
Through water like glass,
above a briny [bad word] 
So Row and [bad word] give'er all you can!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

We carry on the burden
and we hide our grimace well
for the day [bad word] for us to mutiny
But as long as we survive
Our hope and pride they can't deprive
and we'll carry on our melody
to sing in harmony

So Row Row ya [bad word] 
Ya never can tell!
Over water like glass,
above a briny [bad word] 
So Row and [bad word] give'er all you can!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

So Row Row ya [bad word] 
Ya never can tell!
The ocean a tempest
All around us a stormy [bad word] 
So Row and a-Hollar,
'Till bloodied on the hands!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

We are wracked from the hardships,
exhausted by the years,
We can still escape this barren misery
but even with our shackled wrists
we can fight our way through this
and we'll power all aboard the ship
to total liberty

So Row Row ya [bad word] 
Ya never can tell!
The ocean a tempest
All around us a stormy [bad word] 
So Row and a-Hollar,
'Till bloodied on the hands!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.
