Calypso Lyrics - Denver John

To sail on a dream 

on a crystal clear ocean, 

to ride on the crest 

of a wild raging storm 

To work in the service 

of life and living, 

in search of the answers 

of questions unknown 

To be part of the movement 

and part of the growing, 

part of beginning 

to understand, 

Aye Calypso the places you've been to, 

the things that you've shown us, 

the stories you tell 

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit, 

the men who have served you so long and so well 

Like the dolphin who guides you, 

you bring us beside you 

To light up the darkness 

and show us the way 

For though we are strangers 

in your silent world 

To live on the land 

we must learn from the sea 

To be true as the tide 

and free as a wind swell 

Joyful and loving 

in letting it be 

Aye Calypso the places you've been to, 

the things that you've shown us, 

the stories you tell 

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit, 

the men who have served you so long and so well
