We Learned the Sea |
| 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 |
