You raise cathedrals,
Divine and precious,
Your mind is ocean sized.
You cause avalanches,
Grand and impressive,
You're the calm and you're the storm.
You reach the highest ground,
You amaze in flawless charm,
Your achievements are beyond belief,
You soothe the savage heart.
The rivers of your works
Nurture fields of joy,
You're the salt of the Earth,
Captain, my captain,
You will never let me down.
To need you, to feel, to breathe you,
Is what i'm living for,
So now I bow to you.
To need you, to feel you, to breathe you,
Is what I'm living living for,
Is what I'm living living for.
You're the food of love,
You teach us how to feel,
You capture the essence
Of sadness solace and joy.
At any given time
I could die in your embrace,
So play on play on play on,
Captain, my captain,
You will never let me down.
To need you, to feel, to breathe you,
Is what I'm living for,
So now I bow to you.
To need you, to feel you, to breathe you,
Is what I'm living living for,
Is what I'm living living for.
You raise cathedrals,
Divine and precious,
Your mind is ocean sized.
Captain, my captain,
Thy name is music.
