Calypso

John Denver
Calypso

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean

To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm

To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown

To be part of the movement and part of the growing

Part of beginning to understand
Aye, calypso, the places youve been to

The things that youve shown us
The stories you tell

Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit

The men who have served you
So long and so well

Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you

To light up the darkness and show us the way

For though we are strangers in your silent world

To live on the land we must learn from the sea

To be true as the tide

And free as the wind -swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye, calypso, the places youve been to
The things that youve shown us
The stories you tell

Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

Aye, calypso, the places youve been to
The things that youve shown us
The stories you tell

Aye, calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
