Wind of Change Lyrics


One Day at Open Sea (pt. I)

Pirates - they rob and steal

Cutlass clank! Those who swank, walk the plank!

Every man, every reckless captain feels:

They show no mercy!

Poor sailors had some fear

I had none: I had fun with my gun

Cannons sung and as long as there was rum

I showed no mercy!

Once more the royal flag

Yo ho, yo ho, yo ho!

Drops down and turns to black!

Yo ho, yo ho, yo ho!

One day at open sea

I woke up, filled my cup, took a sup

Headache smites, why must this sun be so bright?

It shows no mercy

I glanced to the horizon

full surprise, that my eyes memorized:

They were here: a huge armada, who

showed no mercy

We were out of cannonballs

If I sum up, how come, out of rum!

"Dead we are: they don't just come this far

To show us mercy"

Beaten and arrested

On the land we did strand and got hanged

Lucky me - I succeeded to flee

It was my mercy

My loyal pirate crew they'll die

Yo ho, yo ho

I saved my grievous neck, but why?

Yo ho, yo ho

Is there a reason for my life?

Yo ho, yo ho

Though I've been spreading fear and fright

Yo ho, yo ho

As a young sailor-dressed boy

Yo ho, yo ho

My dreams were soaring, not destroyed

Yo ho, yo ho

Sailor-Dressed Boy (Pt. II)

Where could I go and hide?

They'll hang me if I show up

I think and then I sort of find

A smoky harbour pub

In that trusty, gloomy inn

Countless sea dogs I have seen

Aye, it was the times when we

Just dreamed of the life at sea

Old good times, I call you back from where you left me

Old good times, I want to dream again and joy

Old good times, to smell the salty odour of sea

To be the same young sailor-dressed boy!

Storm and Peace (Pt. III)

I ordered meat from a tattooed cook

Who cut out questions well

I sat down, saw an old black book

Like those that church men sell

I glanced the worn-out pages through

until something stood out

I suddenly just somehow knew

What the book was all about

Now obeying divine plans

I am sailing high seas

Though there are storms and the waves dance

Inside of me I find peace

Now obeying divine plans

I am sailing high seas

Though there are storms and the waves dance

Inside of me I find peace

As I kept on reading verses

Something changed in me

The God break all the beating curses

I felt I was free

I understood that I've been acting

All these years so wrong

See, I have found the world attracting

It's not where I belong

Now obeying divine plans

I am sailing high seas

Though there are storms and the waves dance

Inside of me I find peace

Now obeying divine plans

I am sailing high seas

Though there are storms and the waves dance

Inside of me I find peace
