I'm sailing away, I set an open course for the virgin sea And I've got to be free Free to face the world that's ahead of me On board I'm the captain, so climb a board We can search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try, oh Lord, I'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've been happy forever, so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try as best as we can to carry on On board I'm the captain, so climb a board We can search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on To carry on, to carry on
