[Verse 1]
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
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try, your turn
(To carry on)
Yes, we're gonna carry on, alright, we're gonna carry on
[Verse 2]
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 had dreams
We lived happily forever, so that story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can, from the heart
(To carry on)
[Pre-Chorus]
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
[Chorus]
They said: Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Y'all say
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
[Keyboard Instrumental Break and Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their star ship, we headed for the skies
Sing it
[Chorus]
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail with me
We gonna say!
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
[Verse 1] 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
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try, your turn (To carry on) Yes, we're gonna carry on, alright, we're gonna carry on
