I cast my hook for eighty days
One hundred fathoms deep
My body old and starved of food
And tired from lack of sleep
And then one night, when far from shore, when all the stars aligned
The biggest fish I ever saw
Had taken up the line
He fought for freedom, instinct strong
Held firmly on to life
But one of us defeated
By the blade of my own knife
One longer day is all I need
To make it back to land
I'll show the doubters who I am
And the trophies I command
So I'll wait, and I'll wait
I'll keep my line loaded up with bait
The sea is fierce, the wind is strong
I'm scorched and close to death
But I'm not ready to take my final breath
The sharks attack from all around
And take my prize for theirs
All that's left is skin and bone
My willpower and my prayers
My resolution strong as steel, but my body it is weak
The turtle's heart is like my own, though torn apart, it beats
Back on land I leave my haul, tied to my wooden boat
I'm tired but I am wide awake, my spirits high afloat
And I am not a crazy man
I really do not care
The boy believes me, no-one else
The others point and stare
So I'll wait, and I'll wait
I'll keep my line loaded up with bait
The sea is fierce, the wind is strong
I'm scorched and close to death
But I'm not ready to take my final breath
The little boy that fished with me
The only one that knows
The value in those flesh and bones
Though torn and decomposed
So I'll wait, and I'll wait
I'll keep my line loaded up with bait
The sea is fierce, the wind is strong
I'm scorched and close to death
But I'm not ready to take my final breath
So I'll wait, and I'll wait
I'll keep my line loaded up with bait
The sea is fierce, the wind is strong
I'm scorched and close to death
But I'm not ready to take my final breath
The sea is fierce, the wind is strong
I'm scorched and close to death
But I'm not ready to take my final breath
Now I'm not ready to take my final breath
