I'm sailing away   Set an open course for the virgin sea   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 look for tomorrow on every shore   And we'll try, oh, Lord, we'll try to carry on      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 lived happily forever, so the story goes   But somehow, we missed out on that pot of gold   But we'll try the best that we can to carry on      A gathering of angels appeared above our heads   They gave to us this song of hope   And this is what they said      Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me   Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me   Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me   Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me
