Tell me Captain

Old fool on a ship of fools

Seeking light high atop the mast

Crying life gone by so fast

Grasping onto his past

Tell me captain, has your ship gone a stray?

Tell me captain, which way, which way?

Old fool sailing through time

Broken dreams left downstream

Disappeared in the haze

Winds of fury have torn all his sails

Broken dreams lost in a maze

Tell me captain, has our ship gone a stray?

Tell me captain, which way, which way?

Old fool's atop the mast

Praying for light in dark of night

Hurricanes and thundering rain

Waves of anger, wash away the pain

Troubled waters, troubled mind

Atop the mast, filled with hate

Sea of mercy beckons you

Beckons you to be free

Beckons you to be free

Beckons you to be free.
