When my ship sets out to sea
And my home slowly slips away from me
I won't give into defeat
Though I may find all I've known will be lost at sea
Through the sun and wind I find relief
Without a care and ocean air
For my lungs to breathe
Not a somber soul nor a man of grief
When we find ourselves going out to sea
So hey there tomorrow
I'll be heading on my way
Heavy on the wave
Might find heaven on the way
Ignore the pitch and the waves that heave
Don't go below, but stay on and fight these seas
With every sway my eyes do see
That all I've known has been lost away at sea
So hey there tomorrow
I'll be heading on my way
Heavy on the wave
Might find heaven on the way
Through the storm we'll be singing
La, la, la ,la, la, la, la
And we'll be dancing all the way
Sail away
