Lyrics

[00:17.13] To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
[00:21.25] To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
[00:28.25] To work in the service of life and the living
[00:32.31] In search of the answers to questions unknown
[00:39.12] To be part of the movement and part of the growing
[00:43.87] Part of beginning to understand
[00:50.74] Aye, calypso, the places youve been to
[00:54.52] The things that youve shown us
[00:58.59] The stories you tell
[01:02.53] Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit
[01:06.72] The men who have served you
[01:13.97] So long and so well
[01:16.85] Like the dolphin who guides you
[01:19.79] You bring us beside you
[01:40.15] To light up the darkness and show us the way
[01:43.97]
[01:51.50] For though we are strangers in your silent world
[01:55.99] To live on the land we must learn from the sea
[02:02.80] To be true as the tide
[02:05.11] And free as the wind-swell
[02:07.30] Joyful and loving in letting it be
[02:14.38] Aye, calypso, the places youve been to
[02:18.23] The things that youve shown us
[02:22.85] The stories you tell
[02:26.16] Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit
[02:33.91] The men who have served you
[02:38.04] So long and so well
[02:39.98] Aye, calypso, the places youve been to
[02:45.41] The things that youve shown us
[02:49.59] The stories you tell
[02:53.04]
[02:53.60] Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit
[02:57.47] The men who have served you
[03:07.41] So long and so well
