Lyrics

[Refrain]
Just like a ship
Hmm, without a sail
Without a sail
Just like a ship
Just like a ship
Hmm, without a sail
Without a sail
[Chorus]
But I'm not worried because I know
But I know we can take it
I know
But I know we can take it
I know we can shake it
But I know we can shake it
I know we can take it
But I know we can take it
[Verse 1]
I searched for pleasure
I searched for pleasure
But I found pain
But I found pain
I looked for sunshine
I looked for sunshine
Yes, I did
But I found rain
But I found rain
[Verse 2]
And then I looked for my friends
I looked for my friends
They all walked away
But they walked away
Through all the sorrow
Through all of my sorrow
You can hear me say
You can hear me say
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, I know
But I know we can make it
We don't have no money, but I know
But I know we can make it
Sure gonna make it
I know we can shake it
But I know we can shake it
'Cause we are a proud people
I know we can take it
But I know we can take it
[Refrain]
I'm just like a ship
Without a sail
Within our world today
I'm just like a ship
Without a sail
Within our world today
[Refrain]
Love's like a ship
Without a sail
Without a sail
Just like a ship
Just like a ship
Lord knows, I don't have a sail
Without a sail
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, but I know
But I know we can make it
Yeah, I know
But I know we can make it
I know we can shake it
But I know we can shake it
I know we can take it
But I know we can take it
