Lyrics

To sail on a dream
On a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest
Of the wild raging storm
To work in the service
Of life and the living
In search of the answers
To questions unknown
To be part of the movement
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
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-lo, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-lo, ooh-ooh
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
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
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-lo, ooh-ooh
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-yay, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aye-lo, ooh-ooh
