    A                     A6
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
    Amaj7                  A            Bm/A            
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
    A                      A6
To work in the service of life and living,
    Amaj7        A                      Bm/A    
in search of the answers of questions unknown
       A                        A6
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
 Amaj7     A                Em7/A
part of beginning to understand,

D                 A   
Aye Calypso the places you've been to,

the men who have served you so long and so well

          A                            A6
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
    Amaj7                      A          Bm/A          
To light up the darkness and show us the way
      A                         A6
For though we are strangers in your silent world
    Amaj7       A                           Bm/A
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
        A                    A6
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
 Amaj7      A                   Em7/A
Joyful and loving in letting it be
