Can't Keep a Captain Down (Parody of "Can't Keep A Good Man Down" by Newsong)

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
He said goodbye to the friends of the voyage
And he came to us as a common man
He taught us how we could love one another
How there is no time for plans
There were those who admired and followed him
And there were those who wanted him dead
They thought the grave would silence him forever
But they found out instead
Chorus:
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they sent him to Nexus and they thought he was dead and they went about their lives
Decades later everybody found out that ya can't
No you can't keep a Captain down, no
No you can't keep a Captain down
I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Save a planet, people too?
Here we are near eight decades later
And still he lives on just the same
You can say that ya don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing
Chorus:
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they sent him to Nexus and they thought he was dead and they went about their lives
Decades later everybody found out that ya can't
No you can't keep a Captain down, no
No you can't keep a Captain down
Bridge:
I can take you to the hill where they buried him in stone
I can take you to his empty grave
I can tell you he's alive 'cause I saw him, see
And everything he gave
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Chorus:
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they sent him to Nexus and they thought he was dead and they went about their lives
Decades later everybody found out that ya can't
No you can't keep a Captain down, no
No you can't keep a Captain down
