The Guardian - The Captain lyrics

He was a captain Flew a silver sail Playing a wind song like a part of the sea He followed the sunshine Charted the stars Like a part of the ocean...a part of the sea And what he did not fear was the journey Or the treasures left behind And he did not run from the answer What he did not hear were the lies He told a story Sailed through storms Painted a picture lived in the scenes Some say he was crazy Living in a dream But he sailed with a reason out on a crystal sea And what he did not fear didn't hurt him What he did not seek didn't find And he would not run from the answers What he did not hear were the lies Sail on captain sail on Let your guiding light lead you cross the ocean And though his eyes were old He saw much more than many men could see Now even though he's gone His legacy lives on A simple faith that takes me cross the sea And home again As the stormy sea keeps raging on Sometimes I miss my home Take me home I can feel it when the wind blows And I hear you call my name Take me home I've been away too long Take me home Let your spirit lead me on And until that day I'll try and live just like the captain
