Life, a journey, a one way trip No return included We sign on a departing ship The name of her is destiny You need to travel within your heart To reach a goal, secluded Friends in life, they can share their chart But you belong, we'll set the course I trust the winds To take you there Sail away, sail away Sail away Stars will guide you Sail away, sail away Sail on friendship's sail The eye can capture the universe Can see it all But not itself Some would say an eternal curse Laid on each and everyone Every pair of eyes in which you're brave enough to dive Soon reflect a part of you Life is yours, and may you always thrive And enjoy the ride On destiny I know the winds Will take you there Sail away, sail away Sail away Stars will guide you Sail away, sail away Sail on friendship's sail Sail away, sail away Sail away Stars will guide you Sail away, sail away Sail on friendship's sail Sail on friendship's sail
