From Us To You

[Verse 1]
Somewhere on the ocean, a course charted from the past
A ship moves at full sail and yet its flag is at half mast
For one man sailed the ocean, to lands both strange and far
His pen became the wind while his broad ship was his guitar

[Chorus]
And how he sang every song
With a voice that rang through us all
Oh, how we all sang along
Well, here’s a song from us to you

[Verse 2]
Towering above you, like a giant he would stand
While other times you’d think you found the boy inside the man
His songs were filled with passion and at times consumed by rage
But always with the wisdom of a man that’s twice his age

[Chorus]
And how he sang every song
With a voice that rang through us all
Oh, how we all sang along
Well, here’s a song from us to you

[Verse 3]
So somewhere on a distant shore, fighting back the tears
A crew prepares for one last voyage of Barrett’s Privateers
A shanty grows among them as they cast off their lines
And sail off singing tribute to the man that gave them life

[Chorus]
And how he sang every song
With a voice that rang through us all
Oh, how we all sang along
Well, here’s a song from us to you
