I, uh, also did not come prepared with a new word for the day.

BUT I do have news that the 12th Edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary has been published!  So many new words!

Awesome progress!

Oh gosh, the eternal struggle with "I've used this word 4 times in the same paragraph" hits much harder in poetry/lyrics, for sure! And yet, sometimes, it just has to be. v__v

And so the CREW/ helped him to MASter /ropes and SPAces -- that's actually a better fit with the way the (highly irregular) melody is phrased at that point, and a closer translation (original: "and the crew/helped him/with the rigging"). What is left out altogether is the "he had the soul of a sailor and that made him one of us" at the end of the previous line, which was why I was inserting a 'we' in the place of 'crew', but it's a better translation of the last line on its own.
