It was different in your time,
people were different then,
but the winds were threatening just the same,
and the waves were rising up as well.
We were safe at sea
when you'd stood there on the deck.
Oh my admiral, my admiral,
storm is coming upon us,
we need that dream of yours,
and the hope was also needed.
Oh my admiral, my admiral,
bad weather is coming upon us,
we need the right words of yours,
we need to sail over the stormy sea.
