We are all born free but forever live in chains and we battle to exist and soldier 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 you [bad word] you never can tell

through water like glass above a briney [bad word] 

so row and [bad word] give her 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 cant deprive

and we'll carry on our melody to sing in harmony

so row row you [bad word] you never can tell

over water like glass above a briney [bad word] 

so row and [bad word] give her all you can

or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land

So row row ye [bad word] you never can tell

the ocean a tempest or the land a stormy [bad word] 

so row and a-hollar till bloody oar in hand

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 ye [bad word] you never can tell

the ocean a tempest or the land a stormy [bad word] 

so row a litlle harder till bloody oar in hand

or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land
