Over deze songtekst:
De reis van de James Caird was een zeetocht van ruim 1300 km. Van de Shetland eilanden naar South Georgia eiland in Amerika. Het schip was een reddingsboot. Het hele verhaal, inclusief een foto, is hier te lezen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_of_the_James_Caird
I never thought I’d see the black cliffs of South Georgia again Yet here we are, here we are We lost a good ship to the depths of the southern ocean Torn apart my enduring heart We toiled for 15 long months in an icy wasteland With hope long gone we carried on Now I carry the fate of 27 good men In the palm of my hand, this trembling hand We spent 16 furious days in the fight of our lives You’ll find no rest in the rolling depths We were lifted on white raging mountains through valleys of pain The ache of death on every breath We’ve seen God in his splendors, heard the text that nature renders We have pierced through the veneer and reached the naked soul of man We have suffered starved and triumphed, groveled down yet grasping glory We’d grown bigger in the bigness of it all, of it all
