Sailing

Sailing, Yes sailing changes everything

How you live and how you die

How you feel and why you cry

Yes sailing, Sailing changes everything

The nights were long, the days were short

If only they all had made it to port

Yes sailing, Sailing changes everything

All for just a moment of fame

Yes sailing, Sailing will never ever be the same

                                                                     Amen
