• Oh Captain, My Captain
    They said you’d been there for me
    Following me, every step
    Yet I still felt alone, lost
    You were supposed to be my map, my compass
    And you let me stray

    Oh Captain, My Captain
    Each day I felt more distant
    They all said that you’d bring us back,
    Those who’ve lost the way
    They all said that you guide us,
    Showing us the right path
    And you let me stray

    Oh Captain, My Captain
    They all said it was my fault,
    That I was a horrible person
    They all said it was my fault,
    That my eyes were blind and my soul lost
    Yet they all said that you guide us back,
    We who are lost, that you don’t forget us
    And you let me stray

    Oh Captain, My Captain
    How odd it feels to call you that now
    Like a bitter taste that even the sweetest of ale won’t rid of
    I’ve left you and the hypocrites that preach your words
    I’ve left you and all those that spit on me for my actions
    I feel lighter, without the weight of the lies
    I feel freer, without all of the chains
    You say that you bring us lost sheep back
    But I must have been too far gone
    And I let you stray
