On!
Sailing on!
To our fate!
To India...
Above the seas with the wind we are flying high
Our wings are sails and our trail means no second try
Golden and silver the future will be
When we´re at the aim
Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we´re sacred
We´re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We´re heading for the the treasures of India
Stars show the way through the night, we don´t look behind
Water supplies getting low but we´re strong in mind
Power and Glory will come to us all
When we´re at the aim
Once there was a vision to find
A new land behind the horizon
When we chased the sun
A whole new world was born
My dearest wishes they will be fulfilled
When we have reached our destination
Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we´re sacred
We´re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We´re heading for the the treasures of India
Sailing on!
To our fate!
To India...
Our wings are sails and our trail means no second try
Golden and silver the future will be
When we´re at the aim
We have no fear we´re sacred
We´re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We´re heading for the the treasures of India
Water supplies getting low but we´re strong in mind
Power and Glory will come to us all
When we´re at the aim
A new land behind the horizon
When we chased the sun
A whole new world was born
When we have reached our destination
We have no fear we´re sacred
We´re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We´re heading for the the treasures of India

Actually it's about going to America!
It describes colonists heading out to the "new world". Columbus thought he was heading to India when he sailed to the Americas.
Thanks Phunting, I might have missed this meaning.

WHY no comments? This is a great song, especially for running...
I suppose it's simply about going to India. The lyrics don't mean much to me, it is so catchy though. Really quite good.
