But it is our valor and trust that we                         I have lost track of time’ is

         move on as the sun rises on our                                       what they say

                               faces                                I order them to keep sailing

     We look to the lands before us, to set                       on, because this journey is far

                   our feet upon them,                                             from over


       To see what joy and what dangers                                 We have to see what’s

     they have to offer in our conquest of                               beyond the horizon, to

                           the world                                   complete my search for

      And so we rise, rise higher than the                                        knowledge

      sun, honor in our arms and seek the                           And so we keep on moving,

              treasures of the universe!                             but my men, they no longer

                                                                    sing the chanties of the sea

              So, as the journey goes on                             and so they frown upon me

       I stop to think about, the men that                          So at night they come to my

                            we are..                                cabin, tying me to a lifeboat

                                                                    Then they sail away on their


        My thirst for sea is unquenchable                             own, leaving their captain

           And so we must go on and on                                                alone

                                                                     I look out to the night and I

        The men, they grew weary of this                                pray, ten days for I am

                             journey                                      captured by the sea

       The want to stop, go home to their                            I can feel my breath fading

                families and loved ones                           away and I see the clouds are

          I cannot understand, why they                                                dark

     cannot go on anymore, after all I am                          The sea sails me to my doom!

                          the captain                             But lo! I see something before

        They must look up to my example                                              me……


           and not refuse to sail on forth                        And so the sail goes on and on

       ‘So many days are we at the sea.                                              and on!
