Good Morning Gloucester 
The Captain at the Wheel

Taking watch of harbor through days and nights
With his hands firmly gripping at the wheel
Our statue of yesteryear and today
With his eyes fixed like hardened steel
Many seasons and storms have passed him by
Since the Captain was dedicated by our shore
Through raging winds and sunlit skies
The Captain has done his faithful chore
The sands of time that has ebbed and flowed
In circling our great statue of the sea
Like the many stories of Fishermen of old
Our Captain sets the spirit within us free
The inscription etched below his feet
So treasured to the Fishermen in many ways
When the Sands of Time are stilled we’ll meet
Those we have lost now raised by God
From the oceans grave
