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
B
Or the treasures left behind

And he did not run from the answer
B F# C# B F#
What he did not fear were the lies

Sail on captain sail on

Let you guiding light lead you cross the ocean

And though his eyes were old

He saw much more than men could see

His legacy lives on

A simple faith that takes me cross the sea
And home again
