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 takes more than your skill,
It's the compass inside, it's the strength of your will.
The first ensign watched as tempest all tried me
I sang to the wind as if God was beside me.
For all we learned the sea.
You take the wheel one more time like I showed you.
We've reached a place 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 so young, but you'll understand
That the stars for the sea are the same for the land.
And we came to learn the sea.
