The Watch
For twenty years
This sailor has stood the watchWhile some of us were in our bunks at night
This sailor stood the watchWhile some of us were in school learning our trade
This shipmate stood the watchYes.. even before some of us were born into this world
This shipmate stood the watchIn those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history
This shipmate stood the watchMany times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there
Needing his guidance and help
Needing that hand to hold during those hard times
But he still stood the watchHe stood the watch for twenty years
He stood the watch so that we, our families and
Our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety, Each and every night
Knowing that a sailor stood the watchToday we are here to say
'Shipmate... the watch stands relieved
Relieved by those You have trained, Guided, and Led
Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch...""Boatswain..Standby to pipe the side...Shipmate's going Ashore.."
The Boatswain's pipe begins to sound in the background as the member goes ashore for the last time.
