To [A]sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
to ride on the crest of a wild raging [D6]storm
To [A]work in the service of life and living,
in search of the answers of questions [D6]unknown

To be [A]part of the movement an part of the growing,
part of beginning to [A11] unserstand,

{soc}
Aye Calypso the [A] places you’ve been to,
the [D] things that you’ve [A]shown us,
the stories you [A]tell
[D]Aye Calypso, I [A]sing to your spirit,
the [D]men who have [A]served you so [E]long and so well
Hi dee [E]ay-ee [D]ooo [A]doo-dle [E]o
oo do [D]do do do [A]do doo-dle [E]ay yee [D]
[A] doo-dle [E]ay ee [Dsus4]      [D]      [A]

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 a wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

{c:chorus}
