Lyrics

I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you
To be free
I am flying
I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you
To be free
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Thro' the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Thro' the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you
Who can say
We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you
To be free
Oh Lord, to be near you
To be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord, to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
