I am the captain and I have been told
|
That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
|
Now losing this boat is worth scarce a mention
|
I think of the crew, most of all the first ensign
|
For all we learned the sea
|
|
Guiding a ship, it takes more than your skill
|
It's the compass inside it's the strength of your will
|
The first ensign watched as tempests all tried me
|
I sang in the wind as if God were beside me
|
For all we learned the sea
|
|
You take the wheel one more time like I showed you
|
We've reached the strait once even I could not go through
|
|
I am the captain and I have been told
|
But I am not shaken, I am eight years old
|
And you are still young, but you'll understand
|
That the stars of the sea are the same for the land
|
And we came to learn the sea
|
