Lyrics:
The ship left the port at the peak of high tide, on course for a land far away
Seagulls escorted the tall gleaming masts as the hull bored through the waves
The sailors aboard have all been there before - a proud, weathered sea-loving crew
No landlubbers welcome to steer her across the silk mirrored sapphire blue
Their bellies are tight from the galley's delights and there’s more than enough rum to drink
Their spirits are high and towards the clear sky - they raise up their mugs and they sing
IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TIL WE FIND LAND
She gathered the might of the wind in her sails, behind her a proud wake of foam
Forging ahead through the still of the night, over sea monsters fathoms below
But a red sky at dawn foretold of a storm sending chills down the old captain's spine
Darkening clouds amassed high above, ‘twas only a matter of time
They scurry and flail pulling ropes tying sails as the violent waves dance and leap
And they offer a prayer being fully aware that no mortal can conquer the deep
IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TIL WE FIND LAND
The salt stings their eyes and they fear for their lives, yet they fight off their feelings of dread
For they know and believe, there’s a path through the sea - that will lead to clear sailing ahead
IT'S OUR LIFE A JOURNEY AT SEA, A VOYAGE OF FATE AND DESTINY
THE WATERS WILL CHALLENGE THE FORTITUDE AND COURAGE OF EVERY MAN
THE STARS THAT LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, THEY'LL BE OUR MAP OUR COMPASS OUR GUIDE
FOLLOW THEM TRUE FOLLOW THEM FAITHFULLY 'TILL WE FIND LAND

The tune is so moving, the acting is so incredible, the message is so inspirational, and the ideas of what to dress up for the next Purim have increased exponentially!

Can't seem to stop listening to this song, it is awesome. Make more like this one.

[@nechemiamandelbaum4485]

Definitely the best Jewish music video I've ever seen. Usually it has nothing to do with the song, like they're just dancing or something. But this follows perfectly. Absolutely a masterpiece.

[@barrryfishman1908]

[@AlexanderY18]

Journeys 5 really surprised me. Many times when artists are attempting to make a comeback after years of absence it doesn't work out so well, often they just aren't able to pull up what they were able in the past. But Abe really surprised me with his new journeys, the content is wonderful and is a honor for the journeys series. Not just it isn't less, it actually outperforms the journeys of the past one could say (you could respectfully argue with that . . . ). Thanks Abe. 🙏

[@elischwebel]

Abie is my Mentor and Hero. SO lucky to grow up with him!!

I randomly came across this, can someone explain- is this an allegory for the history of the Jewish people? Since I see comments referencing Judaism.

[@yitzchakmordechai]

It's an allegory to all life - life is a journey at sea. There are times of smooth sailing we all enjoy, and God protect us, there are rough seas we all must traverse. We are best to maintain our faith and maintain course and we will, God willing, see the sunshine again.

My husband would have loved this song, he passed away in 2020 from lung cancer due to Agent Orange exposure while serving in Vietnam, this verse" there is a pass through the sea that will lead me to clear sailing ahead" I connected to that, for I am trying to find my path to him! I play your song every day early in the morning when I walk,, it is such things as your song that made me get through the day! Thank you!
