Captain, My Captain
Stef Sigfalk
Daybreak has lifted the foggy veil
Sailors away
May steady winds fill fast your sail
All through the day
And may good fortune never fail, I sing
Captain, my captain may the tradewinds fill your sail

Be mindful and present, enjoy every trip
Day by day
We'll all once sail another ship
Oceans away
One day the tightest knot will slip, good wind
Captain, my captain on your new and distant ship

For the old ocean my captain is bound
Far, far away
Where all our mates of past are found
Hear what I say
He'll turn that wooden wheel around, I cry
Captain, my captain far too soon you're homeward bound

There's always the sea there to venture upon
Sun warms the day
And someplace comfort when we're done
Anchor's away
But where's our strength to carry on, I cry
Captain, my captain when the warming sun has gone
Yes where's our strength to carry on, I cry
Captain, my captain when the sun has gone
