Unpaid Heroes
Lifeboats leap into perilous oceans

Waves climb high in fearsome motions

The Sailing ships and fishing boats

Struggle tirelessly to stay afloat

Sailors peering in the distance

Praying for some help, assistance

Their friends upon the pier await

For any news of loved ones fate

And then Ahoy you hear the cry

Three cheers again for the R N L I
