Prospects of Adventure
(Music: Tim Hunter, Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
LET PROVIDENCE AND FORTITUDE
BE THE WINDS THAT FILL MY SAILS
TO ACHIEVE MY LIFE’S AMBITION
AND LEAD ME ON GREAT MISSIONS
AS A YORKSHIRE FARM BOY
ROSEBERRY TOPPING I WOULD CLIMB
TO VIEW THE SEA BEYOND THE SHORE
OTHER WORLDS MEANT TO FIND
A TOILING VILLAGE SHOP LAD
WITH TEEMING OCEAN NEAR
I’D SENSE A PASSION IN MY SOUL
AS SAILORS’ TALES I’D HEAR
Goddamit! It’s time to be master of my fate.
ON WHITBY SHIPS I’LL GO
TO SAIL THE GREAT NORTH SEA
I’LL STUDY SEAMANSHIP AND STARS
THERE’S SOMETHING CALLING ME
LET PROVIDENCE AND FORTITUDE
BE THE WINDS THAT FILL MY SAILS
TO ACHIEVE MY LIFE’S AMBITION
AND LEAD ME ON GREAT MISSIONS
LIFE ON LAND IS NOT FOR ME
I WANT TO BE FREE
I CAN SEE . . .
PROSPECTS OF ADVENTURE
PROSPECTS OF ADVENTURE
LET PROVIDENCE AND FORTITUDE
BE THE WINDS THAT FILL MY SAILS
TO ACHIEVE MY LIFE’S AMBITION
AND LEAD ME ON GREAT MISSIONS
PROSPECTS OF ADVENTURE
PROSPECTS OF ADVENTURE

Life on the Ocean Wave
(Lyrics from a poem by Epes Sargent ; Music: Tim Hunter)
A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE!
A HOME ON THE ROLLING DEEP!
WHERE THE SCATTERED WATERS RAVE
AND THE WINDS THEIR REVELS KEEP,
LIKE AN EAGLE CAGED I PINE
ON WHITBY”S FAMILIAR SHORE,
OH, GIVE ME THE FLASHING BRINE,
THE SPRAY AND THE TEMPEST’S ROAR!
WITH COMFORT AND SAFETY GONE
WE SET SAILS UPON THE YARD
TO TRAVEL THE GREAT BEYOND
OUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH UNMARRED
WE’LL VISIT FOREIGN DOMAINS
WITH VIGOR AND GOOD CHEER
BUT OUR LONGINGS WILL REMAIN
TO BE ON OUR SEA SO DEAR

Loyalty and Love
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
I’VE SURVIVED GREAT BATTLES
AND FOUGHT THE RAGING SEA
BUT NEVER GAVE MY HEART
TO A LASS SO DEAR TO ME.
AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE
I SHOULD BE A MARRIED MAN
I WOULD LIKE A WIFE AND CHILDREN
WILL SHE GIVE ME HER HAND?
IN A WORLD OF CHANGING FORTUNE
TWO THINGS DO ENDURE
LOYALTY AND LOVE
LOYALTY AND LOVE
I’LL PLEDGE MY HEART FOREVER
OF THAT I CAN BE SURE
LOYALTY AND LOVE
LOYALTY AND LOVE
I’VE NOT BEEN VERSED IN ROMANCE
WILL I KNOW WHAT TO SAY?
HOW CAN I LET HER KNOW
I CAN SEE OUR WEDDING DAY?
(ELIZABETH enters and approaches JAMES.)
ELIZABETH
A little early for dinner, Mr. Cook. Father said you were in this morning to have a talk with him. Will you have your usual ale?
JAMES
No thank you, Miss Batts. Hot tea will be fine.
I ONCE KNEW LITTLE SWEET BETH
AS ONLY A DARLING CHILD
BUT NOW SHE’S A WOMAN
TODAY MY HEART’S BEGUILED
I’VE NOT BEEN VERSED IN ROMANCE
BUT I WILL KNOW WHAT TO SAY
AND I MUST LET HER KNOW
I CAN SEE OUR WEDDING DAY
I’LL PLEDGE MY HEART FOREVER
OF THAT I CAN BE SURE
LOYALTY AND LOVE
LOYALTY AND LOVE

Too Soon
(Music: John Saclausa; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
IS IT TOO SOON
FOR ME TO LOVE
A MAN AS BOLD AND BRAVE AS HE?
IN ALL THE WORLD I’VE NOT MET ONE
WHO CAN BE SO PRECIOUS TO ME
IS IT UNWISE
FOR ME TO LOVE
A HUSBAND SO OFTEN AT SEA?
ALONE WITH MY PRAYERS AND MY FEARS
IS THAT WHAT MY MARRIAGE SHOULD BE?
BUT OUR LOVE CAN BE . . .
THE SUNRISE OF MY MORNING
THE SUNSHINE OF MY NOON
THE AMBER OF MY SUNSET
THE CANDLE OF MY NIGHT
IS IT NOT UNWISE
TO CURB MY LOVE
FOR THE SOUL I MOST ADMIRE?
FOOLISH OR NOT, MY CHOICE IS CLEAR
LOVING HIM IS MY ONE DESIRE
OUR LOVE CAN BE
THE SUNRISE OF MY MORNING
THE SUNSHINE OF MY NOON
THE AMBER OF MY SUNSET
THE CANDLE OF MY NIGHT

DISTANT HEARTS
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon and Tim Hunter)
ONE LITTLE STAR
SHINING IN HEAVEN
RIGHT THERE FOR US TO SEE
A GUIDING LIGHT
A VISION TO SHARE
A PRECIOUS PRIZE FOR YOU AND FOR ME
(ELIZABETH)
ONE DISTANT GLEAM
HIGH UP ABOVE US
A TOUCH OF GOD’S DESIGN
A GIFT FOR TWO
A SYMBOL OF LOVE
WILL EVER REMIND ME THAT YOU ARE MINE
(JAMES and ELIZABETH)
THOUGH MILES AND TIME
MAY LIVE BETWEEN OUR DAYS
OUR SOULS WILL NEVER BE FAR
WHENEVER WE LOOK TO OUR STAR
DISTANT HEARTS
FOLLOWING THE SAME STAR
WE’LL NEVER BE APART
WE’LL NEVER BE FAR
(JAMES)
ONE HOPEFUL SIGN
WHEN MISSING YOU MOST
FROM LAND OR FROM SEA
(ELIZABETH)
A BRILLIANT SIGHT
A FEELING TO HOLD
TO BRING MY CHERISHED LOVE BACK TO ME
(JAMES and ELIZABETH)
THOUGH MILES AND TIME

Land Ho!
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
FIFTY-NINE DAYS UPON THE SEAS
RATIONS OF SALT BEEF, GRUEL AND PEAS
TODAY, TOMORROW—THE SAME ROUTINE
THE ONLY FEMALES . . . ARE IN OUR DREAMS
TODAY, TOMORROW— THE SAME ROUTINES
SEARCHING FOR LAND NOBODY HAS SEEN
LAND HO! LAND HO!
A PROMISED LAND?
WE DO NOT KNOW
LAND HO! LAND HO!
MAN THE YARDS;
TRIM THE SAILS
LAND HO! LAND HO!
LAND HO! LAND HO!
NATIVES WITH CLUBS AND POINTY SPEARS
WOMEN WITH FLOWERS BEHIND THEIR EARS
STRANGE TRIBES WHO MUNCH ON FLESH
CAN PUT OUR HUMANITY TO THE TEST
FRESH PICKED FRUIT AND FRESH SHOT GAME
DAILY MEALS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME
LAND HO! LAND HO!
LAND HO! LAND HO!
INDIVIDUALS AND/OR GROUPS
EXOTIC AND LUSTY NEW LANDS
MIGHT PERHAPS BE ALMOST AT HAND
NEVER KNOW WHAT SIGHTS WE MIGHT SEE
MAKIN’ SOME BRITISH HISTORY
CAPTAIN COOK WILL DIRECT OUR WAY
GRUB AND GIRLS—OUR HOPE FOR TODAY
LAND HO! LAND HO!
A PROMISE LAND?
WE DO NOT KNOW
LAND HO! LAND HO!
MAN THE YARDS;
TRIM THE SAILS
LAND HO! LAND HO!
LAND HO! LAND HO! . . . LAND HO!

Blue Horizon
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
LET ME SEE A BLUE HORIZON
AND AN ISLAND WILL BE FOUND
ALLOW ME THE VAST PACIFIC
NOT A CITY WHERE I’M BOUND
I WANT A BLUE HORIZON . . . BLUE HORIZON
I AM A SON OF LAND
HAILED AS MASTER OF THE SEA
THE OCEAN IS IN MY SOUL
AND THE WIND DOES SET ME FREE
I’VE GONE FARTHER THAN ANY MAN
I’D SAIL FROM POLE TO POLE
MY CHARTS WILL BE MY LEGACY
I’VE BEEN TWO TIMES AROUND THE GLOBE
LET ME SEE A BLUE HORIZON
AND AN ISLAND WILL BE FOUND
ALLOW ME THE VAST PACIFIC
NOT A CITY WHERE I’M BOUND
I WANT A BLUE HORIZON . . . BLUE HORIZON
I know I’ve been away from my family a great deal—for years at a time .
But once my objectives have been achieved, I always returned.
HOME TO MY SONS AND BETH
ACROSS THE AZURE SEAS
BACK TO MY HEART’S DESIRE
IS WHERE I OUGHT TO BE
NOW MY JOURNALS DO I WRITE
SOME PROM’NENT MAPS BEGUN
AT HOME WITH BETH AND BOYS
HONOR AND POSITION WON
YET WHEN I SEE A BLUE HORIZON
AN ISLAND WILL BE FOUND
ALLOW ME THE VAST PACIFIC
NOT A CITY WHERE I’M BOUND
BLUE HORIZON . . . BLUE HORIZON

WE BEST BE CAREFUL WHAT WE SAY
WE’RE JUST SOME BLOKES BEFORE THE YARD
TENDING T0 RIGGIN’ FORE AND AFT
‘ROUND THE HORN WE GLADLY CAME
THOUGHT WE’D GAIN A LITTLE FAME
BUT NOW AT SEA AND DISCONTENT
WONDERIN’ WHEN HARDSHIP WILL RELENT

WE BEST BE CAREFUL WHAT WE SAY
NEVER THOUGHT ON OCEAN WAVES
WE’D HARBOUR THOUGHTS OF MUTINOUS WAYS
MAYBE WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE BRAVE
BETTER STILL . . . WE’LL JUST HOPE AND PRAY

Cook’s Lament
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN GOALS WERE SET
OBJECTIVES MET
PASSIONS PURE
MY FAME SECURE
DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS TURN TO DUST
TAINTED BY MAN’S DESIRES AND LUST
HOW EASY TO BECOME FORTUNE’S FOOL
THE WINDS OF FATE TURN BITTER AND CRUEL
I NEVER ASKED FOR AN EASY COURSE
I NEVER THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE NO COST
FAIR WEATHER COMES AND GOES
BUT WHY NOW? WHY NOW
DO I FEEL DISPIRITED AND LOST?
AREN’T I THE SAME JAMES COOK?
YET MY SWEET BETH SEEMS SO FAR AWAY
I FEAR FOR MY LITTLE BOYS TODAY
HAVE I BEEN LED BY PURE AMBITION
IN TAKING ON THIS FUTILE MISSION?
DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS TURN TO DUST
TAINTED BY MAN’S DESIRES AND LUST
HOW EASY TO BECOME FORTUNE’S FOOL
THE WINDS OF FATE TURN BITTER AND CRUEL
I MUST RESOLVE TO FIGHT THE TIDE
SECURE PROVIDENCE ON MY SIDE
HAVEN’T I DONE IT TIMES BEFORE?
I MUST SUCCEED JUST ONCE MORE
AREN’T I THE SAME JAMES COOK?
THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN GOALS WERE SET
OBJECTIVES MET
PASSIONS PURE
MY FAME SECURE
AM I NOT THE SAME JAMES COOK?
AM I NOT THE SAME JAMES COOK?

Ice Islands
((Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon)
(SAILOR)
STRONG GALES, DENSE FOG
FROZEN DAGGERS HANGING FROM THE YARDS
A WOODEN VESSEL—FRAGILE AND SLIGHT
WANDERING THROUGH A WILDERNESS OF WHITE
BRUTAL COLD, CHILLED TO THE BONE
WILL I NEVER EVER SEE MY HOME?
(COOK)
THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
IS OUR GOAL
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
I’LL GO AS FAR AS MAN CAN GO.
(SAILOR)
CRUEL SLEET, PIERCING FROST
GOING FURTHER—BUT AT WHAT COST?
GIANT ICE HILLS PASS US BY
IF ONE SHOULD STRIKE, WE ALL WILL DIE
OMINOUS WHITE FIELDS LIE AHEAD
LOCKED IN ICE IS A SAILOR’S DREAD
(COOK)
THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
IS IT HERE?
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
HOW FAR SHOULD MEN BE FORCED TO GO?
(SAILOR)
AN ICE ISLAND WORLD
OF BEAUTY AND HORROR
FEELING ADMIRATION, SENSING DANGER
(SAILOR)
ICE ISLANDS EVERYWHERE
DEEPENING EACH MAN’S FEAR
(SAILOR)
THIS GHOSTLY EERINESS
ONLY ADD TO OUR DISTRESS
SEA LIONS AND SNOW BEARS DWELL HERE WELL
FOR A BRITISH TAR THIS IS HELL
(COOK)
THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
IS IT REAL?
(SAILOR)
HOW FAR? HOW FAR?
(COOK)
WE’VE GONE AS FAR AS MAN SHOULD GO
Mr. Burney, set our course south, south west.I feel forced to concede there is little prospect of finding the Northwest Passage here.

Okay, men, get back to work. It’s what the captain would have wanted

YOUR EXPLOITS PART OF HISTORY
