[Chorus]
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Sister help to trim the sails, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sails, hallelujah

Jordan's River is deep and wide, hallelujah
And I've got a home on the other side, hallelujah

[Chorus]
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Michael's boat is a music boat, hallelujah
Michael's boat is a music boat, hallelujah

[Chorus]
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

[Verse 4]
The trumpets sound (The trumpets sound) the Jubilee, hallelujah
Trumpets sound for you and me, hallelujah

[Chorus]
Michael row (Michael row) the boat ashore, hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

"Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" is a 19th-century American spiritual and work song from the Sea Islands, symbolizing both a religious journey to heaven and a political hope for liberation. The song uses metaphors like the River Jordan (freedom/death), Michael (the Archangel/lead oarsman), and "milk and honey" (promised land) to convey resilience.
