My Mother Told Me
Voyage of Wisdom: A Mother's Tale Inspires Courageous Journeys
Lyrics
My mother told me
Guidance and advice from the speaker's mother.
Someday I will buy
Aspirations for a future purchase.
Galley with good oars
Desire for a ship with efficient oars.
Sail to distant shores
Ambition to sail to distant and unknown places.
Stand up on the prow
Positioning at the front of the ship.
Noble barque I steer
Steering a noble and sturdy ship.
Steady course to the haven
Following a steady course towards a safe harbor.
Hew many foe-men
Preparing to face and conquer adversaries.
My mother told me
Reiteration of maternal advice and encouragement.
Someday I will buy
Renewed determination for a significant purchase.
Galley with good oars
Specifically seeking a ship with good oars.
Sail to distant shores
Reaffirmation of the desire to explore distant lands.
Stand up on the prow
Assuming a prominent position on the ship.
Noble barque I steer
Guiding a noble and impressive vessel.
Steady course to the haven
Maintaining a consistent and unwavering course.
Hew many foe-men
Preparedness to confront and defeat adversaries.
My mother told me
Continued influence of maternal advice on aspirations.
Someday I will buy
Persistent commitment to the envisioned purchase.
Galley with good oars
Specificity in wanting a ship with effective oars.
Sail to distant shores
Reiteration of the goal to explore far-off lands.
Stand up on the prow
Assuming a commanding position at the ship's front.
Noble barque I steer
Steering a distinguished and impressive ship.
Steady course to the haven
Maintaining a resolute course toward a safe haven.
Hew many foe-men
Preparedness to confront and overcome adversaries, echoing earlier sentiments.
