At seventeen years of age, James Cook stands on a cliff overlooking Whitby Harbour in North Yorkshire and contemplates a life of adventure at sea.

lyrics

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
