If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I think I'll pick a good friend
To go along with me.

And when that friend and I
Set sail across the sea
We will fear no squawl nor storm
together strong we'll be.

A friend is more grounding
That an anchor or a rope
He can make you safe, secure
and fill your heart with hope.

When I've crosswed that sprawling sea
And stepped out on new land
I will not be a stranger there
I'll have my friend in hand.

A friend is more rewarding
Than the treasures of that sea
She can give you wealth through love
Your spirit rich and free.

If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I know I'd pick a good friend
to go along with me.
