If I were the wind and you were the rainnThat blows east to west that melts away this painnIf I were the sea and you were the skynI could wash away those tearsnAnd our hearts will flynAnd the pirates and theivesmight bring you to your kneesnBut they'll never board your shipnYou may have to sail through troubled seasnBut the stars will always lead younTo the sun on the horizonnAnd you will feel life againnAs the storm shows mercy on your sailsnnPeople my peoplenCaptain my captainnSail this emptyvessel away from here to calmer shoresnPeople my peoplenCaptain my captainnSail this emptyvessel away from here to calmer shoresnnAnd the pirates and the buccaneersnWho fought you through the years nNow kneel and bow to younThey see a strength in younAnd you will be their kingnAnd the rest of the world will seenAnd want to follow them off with that weaponnThe sword of mercy and truthnnIt's all so fearless nownNow the dust has settled downnIt's time to say goodbyenTo the lives I touched and left behindnBut through this melody and rhymenI'll find some confort herennOn waters new we sailnOur eyes set on a new worldnIt's time to wave goodbyenWiped from a memorynBut so fair of face and heart of goldnMy son my son
