VERSE 1:
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 to questions unknown;
To be part of the movement, part of the growing,
Part of beginning to understand.
CHORUS:
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,
To the men who have served you so long and so well.
Ah-dee ay-ee oo-oo-oo-oo,
Ah-dee ay-ee oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Ah-dee ay-ee oo-oo-oo-oo,
Ah-dee ay-ee-ee.
VERSE 2:
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.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
And now we must bid you a final farewell,
To return to the ocean that gave you birth.
But your spirit lives on, and your work will continue,
As your family sails over all of the earth.
And wherever we go, no matter how far we travel,
You'll always be with us -- you were the first!
CHORUS
