Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling, mighty sick
I've been lost now, for days uncounted
And it's months since, I've seen home
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?
If you return me, to my home port
I will kiss you, Mother Earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port, of my birth
Am I in my cabin dreaming?
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it
I just can't live without it
So please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I can feel the hand, of a stranger
And it's tightening, 'round my throat
Heaven help me, heaven help me
Take this stranger, from my boat
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling, mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home, oh, uh oh
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
