Song Name: WeÂ’ve Left The Shore, WeÂ’re Sailing Forth
Official Name: Master of the Ship
Author:
Parivadi Dasa
Book Name: None
Language:
English
LYRICS:
(1)
WeÂ’ve left the shore, WeÂ’re sailing forth, to our promised land
Across the seas, of many miseries, WeÂ’ll not return again
Lord, you sent him here to open up our eyes
Now, your pure devotee gives his high advice
(2)
WeÂ’ve faded away having gone astray, from our forest lands
Being orphan souls of many changing roles, from strange and foreign lands
Oh! We have traveled all alone
Now, are Gurudeva has come to take us home
(Refrain)
Prabhupada, you are the captain of the boat
Giving us direction how stay afloat
Prabhupada, you are the master of the ship
Guiding us and making sure we never slip
(3)
The loads of ways on how his binding gaze, he takes the eyes
The gentle breeze of truth and harmony, gives us inner light
So, the time has come to listen and to learn
How, to sail into the world that lies within
(4)
We have the guide, standing high insight, showing us the way
The friend indeed, with no selfish greed, can cause a tidal wave
So, you sailed the ship beyond the stars
To, the lotus petal planet of Lord Krsna.
(Refrain)
Prabhupada, you are the captain of the boat
Giving us direction how stay afloat
Prabhupada, you are the master of the ship
Guiding us and making sure we never slip
Prabhupada, you are the master of the mind
Calling to innovated mass of fallen mankind
Prabhupada, you are the savior of the soul
Giving understanding on how to reach the highest goal
