DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO DOWN THE
YEARS, HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES OFF THESE
SHORES
"LORD, YOU HAVE COME TO THE SEASHORE
NEITHER SEARCHING FOR THE RICH NOR THE WISE,
DESIRING ONLY THAT I SHOULD FOLLOW.
OH LORD, WITH YOUR EYES SET UPON ME,
GENTLY SMILING, YOU HAVE SPOKEN MY NAME.
ALL I LONG FOR, I HAVE FOUND BY THE WATER,
AT YOUR SIDE, I SHALL SEEK OTHER SHORES"
