And high above the Albatrosses, on the wing is light
Because some of us are pirates and some of us are damned
Flat earth may end, we may sail off the edge
Below me, all the sailors, they're on this journey too
But I have left my battles for the day on this beautiful night
Far behind me are the desert islands, shipwrecks of the past
We're floating on tranquility on this beautiful night
So that I can rescue someone else, should they fall overboard
And we'll watch them echo far away on this beautiful night
So tonight we cast our worries, float jetsam on the tide
So I sing and hope my song will form a rope of golden chords
And not be seen again
And each of us must make our unknown way upon the blue
And I have seen the cannons, sounding in the early morning light
Up here in the crows nest
I am swimming through the breeze
And though the passage of good hope may seem like a needles eye
And I will sing to her as she flies by on this beautiful night
Ahead is the horizon, always changing, it stands fast
But all of us need all of us to ever find the land
