Christopher sails his ship
Across the water
Never looking back
And never waving goodbye

He said its not the same
America that he remembers
Floating away from shore
He leaves everything behind

Sail on through
And wave your flag high
As the eye can see
Sail on through
And never drop your anchor
But the only thing you forgot on shore
Was me

Christopher sailed his ship
For the third time today
Checking his map
But everything looks the same

There are no stars
Tonight to help guide his way
His compass isn't working
But his heart is the only thing that breaks

Sail on through
And wave your flag high
As the eye can see
Sail on through
And never drop your anchor
But the only thing
You forgot on shore was me
