I am sailing, i am sailing

Far away, 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 near you, to be free



Can you hear me? can you hear me?

Through the dark night, far away

I am dying, forever trying

To be with you, who can say?



We are sailing, we are sailing

Far away, across the sea

We are sailing, stormy waters

To be near you, to be free

To be near you, to be free

To be near you, to be free

To be near you, to be free

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 near you, to be free



Oh lord, to be near you

To be free

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Through the dark night

Far away

I am dying, forever trying

To be with you, who can say

To be with you, who can say
