O Captain, My Captain--Thank you

O Captain, My Captain

With you I have set sail

Upon the rough seas

You have set me free

O Captain, My Captain

Lead me by the hand

You have secured my land

I am free from all that held me back

O Captain, My Captain

You have taught me well

Without you I may have failed

With you I have learned to fly

O Captain, My Captain

Stay by my side

Without you I cry alone

With you I can overcome my tears

O Captain, My Captain

Thank you for all you have done

I can walk all on my own

With you though I know I am not alone
