Come Sail Away 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 live 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 live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They came to us with song of hope, and this is what they said

Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
(x4)
