The Captain

The captain runs his ship
Into the rocks
Well do we give him a second chance
With birth and dying based on chance
The first mate tried in vain
To reason with his leader
But he failed to heed the warning
Now there's wreckage in the morning
The ocean floor is filled with forgotten gold
And tears of fallen captains
Keep the salty waters full
And you might think their folly obvious and blind
But who among us hasn't needed
Judgement tossed aside oh no
The morning light is creeping
Through the curtains
And the birds are singing bittersweet
Hе was up while we werе sleeping
He tried in vain to join the vessel down below
But he lived to see the humble day
And face his folly time to pay
The ocean floor is filled with forgotten gold
And tears of fallen captains
Keep the salty waters full
And you might think their folly obvious and blind
But who among us hasn't needed
Judgement tossed aside oh no
