Queequeg’s Sermon

Lyrics

QUEEQUEG

HEAR MY PLEA THAT I KNOW THE SEA,

COME TO FIND WHAT HAS GOD FOR ME.

I THROW THE HARPOON, SIMPLY THAT IS ME,

I WILL OVERBOARD IF I NEED SAVE THEE.

MY FRIEND ISHMAEL THAT IS HIS NAME,

AND QUIETLY WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER SAME.

I AM QUEEQUEG FROM AFAR,

UNDISCOVER’D TRUE PLACES NEVER ARE.

I COME SEE THE WORLD, BUT WORLD LOOKS NOT AT ME, TO

 SEE QUEEQUEG KNOW THE SHIPWRECK INSIDE ME.

KOKOVOKO IS AN ISLAND. NEVER FOUND ANYWHERE.

YOU WILL ALL LOVE IT SO MUCH.

WHEN CAN I TAKE YOU THERE?

SO WE SEEM A LITTLE DIFF’RENT.

NEVER LOOK WHO’S TO BLAME.

I’LL ALWAYS TELL MY STORY,

IF YOU WILL DO THE SAME.

OH, KOKOVOKO, WILL YOU BE THERE,

WHEN I COME BACK TO YOU?

OH, FAR AWAY LAND, CAN I COMMAND

YOU TO BE THERE ALWAYS?

I COME SEE THE WORLD, BUT A WORLD THAT NOT LIKES ME,

SEE QUEEQUEG, KNOW THE SHIPWRECK INSIDE ME.

CAN YOU SEE AND KNOW A WORLD THAT CLIPS SO ME.

CAN YOU SEE AND KNOW THE WORLD THAT’S INSIDE ME.
