Everybody listen to me   And return me my ship   I'm your Captain, I'm your Captain   Though I'm feeling mighty sick      I've been lost now days uncounted   And it's months since I've seen home   Can you hear me, can you hear me   Or am I all alone      If you return me to my home port   I will kiss you, mother Earth   Take me back now, take me back now   To the port of my birth      Am I in my cabin dreaming   Or are you really scheming   To take my ship away from me   You'd better think about it   I just can't live without it   So please don't take my ship from me   Yeah, yeah, yeah      I can feel the hand of a stranger   And it's tightening 'round my throat   Heaven help me, Heaven help me   Take this stranger from my boat   I'm your Captain, I'm your Captain   Though I'm feeling mighty sick   Everybody listen to me   And return me my ship      I'm your Captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah (4X)      I'm getting closer to my home (24X)
