All I see floats with the wind All the miracles of the water Are the miracles never seen Somehow my life now begins This music that's been played through time Now starts to reach my feet Feels like the flood of my needs From the harmony of forever Sound the melodies of the sea And you will know on the way I'm coming back to my enemies I'm turning around I'll be Just coming back to my last days I'm coming back to the sea! So... why won't you come with me, my friend? Thrills... like we had before Hope... never showing up the same For a lonely man Since the day we left the land We've been anxious on aproach Captain kept showing his plans: "Under sail we go!" Deep the ocean's blue I stare The reflections of my soul We have with us a special guest And for him we made a toast Carolina IV took a river to the sky Seven men on board taking part To take their hearts around All around, around the world! All I can recall that day On that very day for sure All hands up against the haze As we attempted the return Carolina IV took the river to the sky One man less on board - human dreams Have sometimes cost their lives, All their lives dreaming I've been such a fool, I've been so afraid From my heart to you I say: I'll be here to stay! Nothing much left from the boat Many years have been and gone Still I can't forget the past And the ones I left at home Carolina IV took the river to the sky Windy whistling nights Made me sail right into the wind's eye Now I'll die singing
