UNCHARTED WATERS
Mike White CloudWalker
I sail the deep seas,
my eyes focused till the end.
Life just might only be the beginning
of how far I can see.
From the sun coming up
to the sun going down,
I hear the sound of the waves.
Sometimes it's so dark
you wonder what's underneath you.
But those thoughts—
sometimes you have to cast away.
Because we're on...
Uncharted waters.
[Verse 1]
I'm on a luxurious floating ship,
sailing across the high waters.
My job is to remain focused at all times.
I don't miss anything.
Anything flying around,
anything crawling around,
anything moving across that water—
I see it.
Everywhere I look,
I see.
And yes—
I turn around.
My friends are enjoying themselves,
laughing like they always do.
And sometimes I wonder...
Did they ever give this conversation a thought?
Do they ever think about
what it takes to keep this ship moving
while everybody else is relaxing?
[Pre-Chorus]
The care of this ship is my concern.
Hot days and broken nights,
still we set sail.
Now that everything is calm,
maybe I can relax.
Maybe I can think...
Think about...
[Chorus]
My girl,
my lady,
my wife.
Maybe tonight
I can finally sleep tonight.
Tonight...
tonight...
tonight...
Oh, my friend...
Friend, friend, friend, friend,
my friend, my friend...
Oh yeah...
oh yeah...
Enjoy this night.
This is a wonderful night.
[Verse 2]
I remember the nightmares
I had it when I was a young kid.
Out there on the sea
inside my dreams,
I was drowning.
Alone.
But look at me now.
I'm not afraid of the sea.
I'm part of the sea.
I'm a sailor.
And the ocean calls me...
[Background Echo]
Calls me...
Calls me...
Me... me... me...
[Verse 3]
I always have a smile on my face.
That's who I am.
I'm proud of the job that I do,
but I want everybody
to enjoy life the same way I do.
Once you get to know me,
once you get aboard this ship—
Relax.
Enjoy yourself.
Leave those worries back on land.
I've got the wheel.
I've got the watch.
I've got the ship.
[Hook]
I'm your captain,
I'm running this ship.
So sit back...
relax...
and enjoy.
I'm your captain,
I'm running this ship.
Across the deep water,
through the darkest night.
My eyes stay focused.
I don't miss a thing.
Because we're sailing...
Uncharted waters.
[Bridge — softer, thinking of home]
Now the night gets quiet.
My friends are sleeping.
The ocean keeps talking.
And I think about you.
My girl...
my lady...
my wife...
And I remember
the last words you said to me
before I sailed away...
[Female Voice — soft]
Come home safe and warm.
[Captain — quietly]
Safe and warm...
That's all I want.
One more night,
one more sunrise,
one more journey home.
[Final Chorus]
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
Oh, my friend...
Enjoy this wonderful night.
The ocean calls me,
calls me,
calls me...
I'm a sailor.
I'm your captain.
So sit back and enjoy.
I'll keep my eyes on the water.
I'll keep my hands on the ship.
