Lyrics :
I'm sailing away, set an open course for
the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll look for tomorrow on every shore
And we'll try, oh lord, we'll try to carry on
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves
spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try the best that we can to carry on
Whoo
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They gave to us this song of hope, and this is what they said
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
