River And Dale

Through the wild, 'tween river and dale
Watched by the sun, humbled by hills
Sleep is mercy, though I've a ways til I'm beggin'

Color me grateful for the horizon of day
The breath out of one and the courage it takes
To find closure, in the wake of disaster
Oh to find saviors, in the way of the water

Steady, steady, steady
Steady as a storm
But lo' an ever-present home

Through the shadows, beyond the gunwale
The safety aboard a vessel propelled by my own will
Drifting away from the danger

Under the willow's t'ween the sheen of a dew
Some laugh at the wind, and they-
Oh some cry to their makers
Listening out for an answer
Dragging the river, always an urge for a wager

Steady, steady, steady
Steady as a storm
But lo' an ever-present home

Steady, steady, steady
To feel the skin and oooh
The journey's worth its waiting for

So, got me to the open sea
With fair winds followin'
In pursuit of wonder, to leave

Steady, steady, steady
Steady as a storm
But lo' an everpresent home

Steady, steady, steady
Feel the skin and oooh
The journey's worth its weight in gold

To Sailor - I believe it means to draw attention to / to look, kinda like when they say `lo` and behold!`
So he might be saying that even with the storm here, we still have the home (or life / circumstance) we have to go through.
This is just my interpretation of it; could be in the wrong direction. (But hope this helps)

Sailor
What does this part mean?
`But lo` an ever-present home`
