The Captain

He was a captain

Flew a silver sail

Playing a wind song like a part of the sea

He followed the sunshine

Charted the stars

Like a part of the ocean a part of the sea

And what he did not fear was the journey

Or the treasures left behind

And he did not run from the answer

What he did not hear were the lies

Were the lies

He told a story

Sailed through storms

Painted a picture lived in the scenes

Some say he was crazy

Living in a dream

But he sailed with a reason out on a crystal sea

And what he did not fear didn't hurt him

What he did not seek didn't find

And he would not run from the answers

What he did not hear were the lies

Were the lies

Sail on Sail on captain captain sail on

Sail on Sail on captain sail captain sail on sail on

Let your guiding light lead you cross the ocean

And though his eyes were old

He saw much more than many men could see

Many men could see

Now even though he's gone

His legacy lives on

A simple faith that takes me cross the sea

And home again

He was a captain

Flew a silver sail

Playing a wind song like a part of the sea

And what he did not fear didn't hurt him

What he did not seek didn't find

And he would not run from the answers

What he did not hear were the lies

Were the lies

Sail on sail on captain

Captain sail on sail on

Sail on captain sail on

Captain sail on sail on

Captain captain

Sail on sail on captain sail on

Captain sail on

As the stormy sea keeps raging on

Sometimes I miss my home

Take me home

Take me home I can feel it when the wind blows

And I hear you call my name

Take me home

I've been away too long

Take me home

Let your spirit lead me on

And until that day

I'll try and live just like the captain
