The captain and his son sailed away
They pushed off the docks
On the fifth day of may
Determined to set a new course
Led by the stars and a compass under moonlight
Then they sang out
this is the way we were raised
Tug on the cables to straighten the sails
We're determined to find our own way
Even if it takes us to the last day of may
Then the captain spoke
have you ever wanted to die?
These things i've known my son
Once or twice
There are maps of navigation through life
Please let me give you the best of advice
it takes steadfast endurance through the storm
Keep a candle and a compass always on board
Look up to the stars every night
Always remember you're somebody's child
Yes, you're mine
The captain then lit up his pipe
Put a hand over brow
And gazed towards the star-line
The pilot struggled in flight
Too close to a mountain
Directly in sight
Then the captain spoke
see that plane starboard
30 degrees
That's a man lost as you'll ever see
That's a man lost as I think i've ever seen
Promise my son you will stay on the sea
it takes steadfast endurance through the storm
Keep a candle and a compass always on board
And look up to the stars every night
Always remember you're somebody's child
Yes, you're mine
Captain
Mayday
