Captain my captain
Looks like were goin down
We've been overcome by the waves
Captain my captain
Looks like were gonna drown
It's to much for us to be saved
For ten long years I have served you well
Now I'm begging you
Please make the waters stand still
Captain my captain - I'm goin' down
Captain my captain - I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down)
Cause in my eyes
I can see no way
It's my final plea you must hear
The oceans turned ugly
And we've gone astray
Oh my captain the worst I fear
Well stand there then and make no sound
Oh why should you care
If were all gonna drown
Captain my captain - I'm goin' down
Captain my captain - I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down)
Though you've always lead me to solid ground
But on the way I still question - if you'd let me drown, Captain my Captain
