70 Traditional Sea & sailing related songs with complete lyrics.

	ARE WE CHANGED FROM WHAT WE WERE ? Are we changed from what we were ? No—we're all our fathers' sons ; Their deeds our pulses stir ; Through our veins their great blood runs. Their ways to us are strange ; Our life is different far ; But in heart we know no change ; What our fathers were, we are. More than they did, we love peace And a quiet life. What then ? Though we would that war should cease, For that, are we less men ? We've all their bull-dog breed, Though less prone to growl by far Though a peaceful life we'd lead, What our fathers were, we are.
