“Good morning, Captain Sir
May I walk with you?
Can you tell me of your life?
Tell me what is true?
The mountains that you climbed
And the rivers that you crossed
The treasures that you found
The treasures that you lost
Captain Sir”

“Well good morning there, young man
Yes, you can walk with me
But tell me of your plans
Tell me of your dreams.
You see that I’ve grown old
And I have but little time
So your youth to me is gold
To savour like fine wine
Young man”

“Well thank you, Captain Sir
Yes, I may have my youth ***
But the world seems so absurd
I’m longing for your truth
You did it on your own
Yet you’re loved by many men
Do you ever feel alone?
Would you do it all again?
Captain Sir

“And beside your eyes are lines ***
That deepen when you smile
They tell me of good times
They tell me you are kind
Captain Sir”

“Well you are kind, young man
But I have my regrets
The many men who died
Their names I can’t forget
To live a life to win
You must pay a heavy price
For every time you win
There comes a sacrifice”

“Well thank you, Captain Sir
For the riches you have shared
And for sacrifices dear
I am now prepared
And after I too grow old,
We’ll meet in realms divine
Where together, in youth, we’ll share our gold
And savour our fine wine
Yes, after I too grow old,
We’ll meet in realms divine
Where together, in youth, we’ll share our gold
And savour our fine wine…
Captain Sir”
