Come Sail Away Lyrics

[MASON]
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

[MASON with MADISON]
On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore

And I'll try

[MASON]
Oh, lord, I'll try

[MADISON]
Oh, lord, I'll try

[MASON with MADISON & NEW DIRECTIONS]
To carry on

[SPENCER with KITTY]
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said

[MASON with MADISON & NEW DIRECTIONS, (MASON)]
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (Let's)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

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

[SPENCER with KITTY, (KITTY with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for (The skies)

[MASON]
Singing

[MASON with KITTY, SPENCER & NEW DIRECTIONS, (MADISON), {MASON}]
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me {Let's}
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away (Oh)
Come sail away
Come sail away with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Come sail away
Come sail away (Wooh)
Come sail away with me (Sail away with me)

Come sail away
Come sail away (Yeah, yeah)
Come sail away with me (Sail away with me)
Come sail away (Woah)
Come sail away
Come sail away with me
