Michael lyrics

On the first day,

our ship sank and we rowed away.

Our spirits were good,

we knew we would

make it someday.

It's lonely at sea.

I must row, row to be free.

To stop from goin' down,

to land this ship aground

is all that's left of me.

Michael, please row the boat ashore,

fill me with the strength,

cool me with a drink

that'll take us to the shore.

The captain said, "Hey, son,

it's been days since we've begun.

Let that man row,

he'll take us to the shore

before the great storm."

This little man stood up,

grabbed the oars and started to row,

pulled back with great pain

as he cried out his name

and we moved toward the shore.

He cried: Michael, please row the boat ashore,

fill me with the strength,

cool me with a drink

that'll take us to the shore.

Stand tall, I said.

(Stand tall, I said).

Don't look back now, we're moving ahead.

With a will of stone,

we reach out on our own

as we pulled toward the shore.

He cried: Michael,

Michael,

row, row, row.

Michael,

Michael,

row that boat.

Michael, 

don't look back now.

Land that ship aground.
