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
