Oh captain, my captain
I bid you farewell
The events taken place
No one would ever foretell

Oh captain, my captain
Forgive my mistakes
You gave me my dreams
But he tore them away

Oh captain, my captain
You made me believe
That anything's possible
That I could succeed

Oh captain, my captain
You're never to blame
You fed me my life
I put it out like a flame

Oh captain, my captain
Give my regret to my friends
Forever I'll love them
Don't let them follow my trend

Oh captain, my captain
Carpe diem, you said
I've nothing to live for
And thus I am dead
