I am sailing, I am sailing,

home again, across the sea.

I am sailing stormy waters,

to be near you, to be free.

 

I am flying, I am flying,

like a bird across the sky.

I am flying, passing high clouds,

to be with you, by and by.

 

Can you hear me, oh can you hear me,

through the dark night, far away?

I am dying, forever trying.

Will I see you, who can say?

 

We are sailing, we are sailing,

home again, across the sea.

We are sailing stormy waters,

to be near you, to be free.

 

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
