(Guitar intro)

Eh, do you reme-ember standing on the sho-o-ore
Your head in the clouds, your pockets filled with dreams?
Eh, bound for glory on the seven seas of li-ife,
But the ocean is deeper than it seems...

Eh, the wind was with you when you left on the morning tide -
You set your sail for an Island In The Sun.
Eh, on the horizon dark clouds up ahead,
Eh, for the storm has just begu-u-un.

{Take me wi-ith you, take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!

Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater,
{Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay},
Take the time to see-ee -
{You’re the one who holds the key} -
Or sailing ships will pa [bad word] you ba-a-ay...

(Guitar interlude)

Eh, you cry for mercy when you think you’ve lost your way,
You drift alone if all your hope is gone,
Eh, and find the strength then you-u will see 
That you control your destini-y
After all is said and do-o-one.

{So take me wi-ith you, take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!

Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater,
{Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay},
Take the time to see-ee -
{You’re the one who holds the ke-ey -
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you-u,
Sailing ships will pass you by-!}

(Guitar hard bridge)

{Take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay},
We’ll ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-ay!
{Spread your wings and you will see-ee -
You control your destini-y} -
So sailing ships don’t pass you ba-a-a-ay!}

(Guitar solo)

So {take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay},
We’ll ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-a-ay!
{Spread your wings and you will see-ee -
You control your destini-y},
So sailing ships don’t pa [bad word] 
{Sailing ships don’t pass you-u},
Sailing ships don’t pass you {by-!} -ah-ah-ah-ay!

Baby, baby, baby, ba-a-a-a-aby!
You’ll find that you’re the only o-one
Can sail your ship across the-e ska-y!
