We Learned the Sea

I am the captain and I have been told
That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
Now losing this boat is worth scarce a mention
I think of the crewmost of all the first ensign
For all we learned the sea
Guiding a shipit takes more than your skill
ItЂ™s the compass inside itЂ™s the strength of your will
The first ensign watched as tempests all tried me
I sang in the wind as if God were beside me
For all we learned the sea
You take the wheel one more time like I showed you
WeЂ™ve reached the strait once even I could not go through
I am the captain and I have been told
But I am not shakenI am eight years old
And you are still youngbut youЂ™ll understand
That the stars of the sea are the same for the land
And we came to learn the sea
