The Boy Who Took The Sea

once was a boy who should have stayed home. Barefoot kid on a broken dock Watching ships like they never stopped Dreams too big for a quiet town Ice set hard on the horizon line Mama said, boy, don't chase that tide He just laughed and slipped outside Stole a boat that could barely float And vanished past the last known rope Hey, he took the sea Didn't ask, didn't wait Got a steal and lie Had to read the wind and fight or fly First small crew, then a bigger name Every port lid up in flame Got a scar from a captain's blade Killed the man, took the ship he made Every map he burned away Cause he liked finding his own way Kid had no sense He took the sea Now the navies are chasing a ghost they can see He took the sea Every king put a price, but he sails free said he'd break. They said no boy could rise that way. They were wrong! Bleed of black sails under his call Youngest devil to conquer it All laugh like thunder eyes like flame Whole wide ocean knew his name Treasure buried stories grow Half of them lies have nobody know But one thing every sailor said Pray you never cross that kid He took the sea from a dockside boy to a storm set free He took the sea now the legend lives in every way you see And no one ever saw him Ever saw him grow old?
