Dislodged in dry dock
A ship blown by the wind
Disturbing force
Dangerous betimes
Better stay indoors
When gales are blowing through
The world tossed in turmoil
Nothing you can do
A ship for deep sea searches
War graves and shipwrecks
Comes a cropper in the wind
At angle all the decks
People injured suddenly
Rescue service there
Thank God for help and ambulance
Thank God that people care
The winds of change are blowing too
Through the world at large
The scourge of war and poverty
Immigrants on a barge
We are the attenders
Do not stand idly by
The wind takes no prisoners
Listen for the cry

+ Strong winds in Scotland today dislodged a ship in dry dock in Edinburgh.
