I am sailin’ on a boat,
Sailin’ on a boat,
Far away
I am sailin’ on a boat,
Far, far away
And I’m looking at the sky,
Looking at the sky,
Asking God why
Where do I go from here?
And is it me or the clouds passing by?
Well, I can’t go back no
I’ve got to keep, got to keep on
Cause I’m a wave, floating along
As one part of this ocean song
And though I’m drowning at sea and land can’t be found,
I’ll find my ground.
I am rowin’ to the shore now,
Rowin’ to the shore,
Just a little more
Ways to go.
And I’m trying to do my best,
Trying to do my best,
But if I compare myself to the rest,
I may drown.
So I won’t let this life pass me by
No, I won’t go back no
I’ve got to keep, got to keep on
Cause I’m a wave, floating along
As one part of this ocean song
And though I’m drowning at sea and land can’t be found,
I’ll find my ground.
Can’t quite, can’t quite figure it out, can’t quite figure it out
Can’t quite, can’t quite figure out how, but I’ve got to try.
I am sailin’ on a boat,
Sailin’ on a boat,
Far away,
I am sailin’ on a boat,
And I’m almost home.
