What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Ever see someone do so well
2
That none could ever stop him
3
Commanding o'er the hardest swell
4
With no force or fault to top him
5
Well, under all and every word
6
Is hidden a woman or man
7
Who lights and inspires some higher desires
8
And allows him to do what he can
9
What power he has only I know
10
And now I have let my captain go
11
I was his true and he bade my fortune
12
And he leapt from on top of my shoulder
13
He could lead pure when my worship was sure
14
And many times even step bolder
15
He loved me and needed, saw trouble and greeted
16
For trouble is best met head on
17
What seems so distinguished became plainly vanquished
18
When I left to find life on my own
19
What power he has only I know
20
And now I have let my captain go
21
Now men laugh at him and say
22
That better men number in thousands
23
Nobody ever goes out of his way
24
To lessen his clowns as they crowd him
25
And I am nearby and I watch with a sigh
26
As my captain curls up like a cripple
27
And hope that he goes where nobody knows
28
Under sea and leaves not a ripple
29
What power he has only I know
30
And now I have let my captain go
