You climbed aboard the ship
and the gangplanks were lifted;
You sailed away,
compass pointed ever eastward.
Standing at the bow,
your face pressed against the wind,
I watched until you were but a speck in the sun.
And I thought I heard you say:
Sister, don't stand crying on the shore
as I sail through seas of flowers.
There are battles to be fought and won.
Look away from the sun;
your eyes are not ready yet.
Turn your face towards your homeland,
fight valiantly,
and always remember me.
I'll see you in Aslan's country.
