Sailing away, on the ocean of life towards the sunset
A thousand new dreams, adventures, possibilities lie ahead
Farewell to my lady. Farewell to my kin.
I'm seeking my fortune. I'm off once again
On the sea
I look to the sky as I watch all the world drifting by me
A song in my heart, I can feel, as we sail at full speed
We soar 'cross the oceans. Our sails unfurled
We'll head on forever, all over the world
On the sea
The white foamy crests and the gulls overhead wave good-bye
The wind fills our sails, as the sun and the clouds fill the sky
I turn to my comrades. I raise up a cheer
For now they're my brothers, as long as we're here
On the sea
Sailing away on the sea
I've always enjoyed this song and the big, happy, uplifting feeling I get from it. But nobody ever asks to hear it. Maybe it needs more chords...It's not so much about the ocean as it is about adventure and possibility.
