• Sail on

I've been sailing ten thousand years
I've been to far off lands, crossed the seven seas
I've seen empires rise, seen the heads of the mighty fall
I shared my bread with peasants, kings and all
My love's in the valley, my love's on the hill
She's the star that leads me, she's the breeze in my sail
Can't wait to kiss her lips, when I set my foot ashore
Can't wait to tell my tales and show you what I have in store
I will sail on, I won't lie down
I will sail on, I won't lie down
My love is waiting on the other shore
I will sail on, I won't lie down
From the Arizona desert I bring you burning sand
Bring you ancient wisdom from the red and yellow man
Bring you tea from China, skin canoe from the Eskimo
And sculptures that came to life many years ago
I bring you the river that runs to the sea
I bring you the songs of the man who's fightin' to be free
I bring you the crystal ice from where the arctic winds blow cold
And I bring you the stories that have never been told

I will sail on, I won't lie down
I will sail on, I won't lie down
My love is waiting on the other shore
I will sail on, I won't lie down
I bring you the prison-door that locks people in
I bring you the shotgun that killed again and again
I bring you the soldier that died without a name
And the bleeding heart of the woman that lost her man
From Spain I bring you the blood-red wine
Talking drums from Africa and Lebanon pine
From the southern islands I bring you fruit so sweet
I bring you a golden ring as a gift from me
I will sail on, I won't lie down
I will sail on, I won't lie down
My love is waiting on the other shore
I will sail on, I won't lie down
