No matter what DEFRA tell us
No matter about the EU
No matter what they teach us
What BW believe is true
No explanations fool us
However they may attack
No matter where they take us
We'll navigate a way back
Waterways are what we believe
A truly British lot
Heritage to love forever
Part of Britain no matter what
If only cuts were laughter
If only the EU would pay
If only true guilt was answered
Then we would hear Britain say
No matter what DEFRA tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What BW believe is true
We strive for BW safe & strong
financed away from the storm
No matter what it takes
This dream is already born
No matter who Defra follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
We'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the waters not so blue
No matter what the end is
our lives are alongside you
We can't deny what we believe
Waterways cannot be what they'r not
I know, I know
I know this heritage is forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what
