Eh, do you reme-ember standing on the sho-o-ore Your head in the clouds, your pockets filled with dreams? Eh, bound for glory on the seven seas of li-ife, But the ocean is deeper than it seems...
Eh, the wind was with you when you left on the morning tide - You set your sail for an Island In The Sun. Eh, on the horizon dark clouds up ahead, Eh, for the storm has just begu-u-un.
{Take me wi-ith you, take me far away, An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!
Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater, {Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay}, Take the time to see-ee - {You’re the one who holds the key} - Or sailing ships will pa-ass you ba-a-ay...
(Guitar interlude)
Eh, you cry for mercy when you think you’ve lost your way, You drift alone if all your hope is gone, Eh, and find the strength then you-u will see That you control your destini-y After all is said and do-o-one.
{So take me wi-ith you, take me far away, An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!
Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater, {Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay}, Take the time to see-ee - {You’re the one who holds the ke-ey - Or sailing ships will pass, Sailing ships will pass you-u, Sailing ships will pass you by-!}
(Guitar hard bridge)
{Take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay}, We’ll ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-ay! {Spread your wings and you will see-ee - You control your destini-y} - So sailing ships don’t pass you ba-a-a-ay!}
(Guitar solo)
So {take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay}, We’ll ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-a-ay! {Spread your wings and you will see-ee - You control your destini-y}, So sailing ships don’t pa-ass, {Sailing ships don’t pass you-u}, Sailing ships don’t pass you {by-!} -ah-ah-ah-ay!
Baby, baby, baby, ba-a-a-a-aby! You’ll find that you’re the only o-one Can sail your ship across the-e ska-y!
