I flick away the world and I shut my eyes
As the light turns to dark and the dark turns to light 
I awaken to soft sounds, so simple and pure 
A deep breathe of fresh air, and all my problems are cured
I've finally arrived to see my destiny is more than me
It's you, and you, and her, and he, and this ship on the open sea
I am free

So tell me tell me now whatcha thinkin' about
I know that I just can't wait to get some gold in my mouth 
Oh woman, come over here, wipe that sweat from your skin
Watch me do some magic, make it reappear again
Few struggles, less worries, no stress where we are 
For finding what you're looking for here isn't really that hard
Yeah, I do what I need, and I get what I can
Take everything at once, don't give a damn
Ruthless conquest, tattoo on my chest
I'm a bad son of a bitch, I won't give it a rest 
I was eight deep, still purrin' strong
With a braid down my back and a beard just as long

But my temper was quite shorter as I headed toward the border
With a quarter quart of porter and pistol in my hand
I fired off a bullet hit my target in the gullet
Snap back, crack, collapse, fall hard to the sand
I approach him by the ocean, body motionlessly chokin'
As I look down, his head turns to the place where I stand
I give a smile and a chuckle as tell my dying brother
What an honor to be killed by the best in the land
What an honor to be killed by the best in the land 
What an honor to be killed by the best in the land

Waves roll in as my accomplice rolls up
Reaches into his bag, pulls out some bread and a cup
As we feast and we smile over what we had won
My dear friend turns to me, and he asks
Are you really happy son

To which I reply, hell yeah, this life is the best
Rum, riches all around, how could I protest
But nothin' can compare to bein' out on the sea
With that sweet summer air, hair blowin' in the breeze
I know that I don't, but I don't know for sure
If even knowing how to know counts at all anymore
Yeah, I live for the risk, and I'll live till I die
Cause livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride
Livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride 
Livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride 

So gimmi gimmi more, give me all that you got
I know that I can't be beat, because I'm callin' the shots
Nobody can stop me from ruling over the seas
Cause I get what I want and I don't pay a single fee
My money's my honey, my riches my bride
You see I'm married to the wealth because it's feedin' my pride
Yeah, it's all that I need, and it's all that I am
More power, more treasure, the better the man
And I'm just the best, earned my success
You're mad, aren't ya kid cause you be havin' much less 
No I don't need to share a bit of my gold
Yeah this is my bloody dream and I say how it's told 

Full of glutten I was stricken as I spotted my next victim 
I convict him of the crime of being in my way 
As I'm lining up my shot, I take my aim at his heart
Bang pop, no, stop, I hear him scream my name
I approach him by the ocean body motionlessly choking
As I look down upon the twisted face I had slain
I saw my father, saw my mother, saw my sister, saw my brother
I saw everyone I loved was dead and I was to blame
I saw the face of my son, I saw the face of god
I realized what I'd done and I was broken inside
I collapsed to my knees and I began to weep
Grab the gun from my waist and raise it to my cheek

Waves roll in as a new creature, unknown
Reaches into my chest, pulls out a heart made of stone
As I scream and I cry over what I had done
In my head I can hear the question
Are you really happy son

To which I reply, my god, what do I see
Can this really be the man that I've come to be  
I only think of myself and how much I can achieve
I never once realized that I am drowning in greed
I know what I want, and what I want is free
There's no price tag on peace, love, and family
If I live for myself, then I'm living a lie
Cause living in the moment waves loving goodbye
Living in the moment waves loving goodbye
Living in the moment waves loving goodbye

I flick open my eyes and I see my wife
She takes away my pain, yeah she's the love of my life
I turn to my left, to where my child rests
A new life that we made cures me from all my distress
I've finally arrived to see my wildest dreams and fantasies
Are nothing more than shams, my peace is here
I feel alive and I am free
I am free
