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 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
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
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

Thank you. "Sunshine On My Shoulders" was always one of my favorites.

And neither am I ledari . I was a Diving Riverine in the Delta back in 68 with the USMC. I have been a diver ever since.
My father remembered the Calypso as mine sweeper J-826 in 44.
"Born from war to serve in peace" that is my epitaph for Calypso.

This is one of the most beautiful tributes to the ocean and the explorers and all those natural wonders that still make it one of the last not fully understood frontiers.

Nice to hear him back. I'm unacquainted with this site, but am glad he found a place here.
