- Calypso LyricsTo 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
(chorus)
Aye calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've 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
(chorus 2x to fade)
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
(chorus)
Aye calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
the stories you tell
Aye calypso, I sing to your spirit
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
(chorus 2x to fade)
