I watch to the horizon where the sky and ocean meet
For every sun that’s rising is a day of fate I’ll cheat
The ocean is my comforter, the wind my laughing friend
My burdens you shall carry, until the jolly end
The wind fill up the bursting sails, they’re longing to be free
The ropes will stretch and play their song, the sailor melody
The music of a wanderer’s life, the rhythm of my heart
My restless mind and wandering thoughts are longing to depart
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
If you had sailed and seen the lot, the ugly naked truth
You’d wish you could go back to that innocence of youth
I don’t know when but through these years, I’ve changed my ways and smell
As soon as I come closer to land they wish me back to hell
The day I’m caught I hope to find a rope around my neck
No peace I’ll find away from the jolting wooden deck
This ship’s my home, if she goes down there’s nothing left to say
I sleep as I lay, in my cabin I’ll stay until my final day
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
I conquer but the mankind, for nature I cannot
My reverence for her is the only prayer I’ve got
The ocean hide my salty tears the wind carry my name
And when I go, it’s better to know I’ve got only myself to blame
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
Yeah I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
