Captain Tom
Captain Tom
Who reflected our intention, whose spirit gave us heart,
When normal life was broken with loved ones kept apart,
Who gave to us the notion that we had to carry on?
Captain Tom.
Who showed the British spirit to support this sacred land,
Who held the torch of hope aloft within his aged hand,
Who shocked us with his confidence of life when this is gone?
Captain Tom.
This man who walked, and walked again for all we cherish dear,
This man who never faltered despite his elder year,
Whose medals gleamed upon his chest as the Sun upon them shone,
Captain Tom.
He lifted up our spirit, held our hearts and helped the fight,
Gave a cause that grew among us to recover from our plight,
Just so small within his stature, yet a giant from thereon,
Captain Tom.
