I was lookin' out on dry land No intentions, didn't have no plans That's when I knew, no doubt I had hit bottom and I was getting out No more people to hold me down Fight the ghost in my hometown All the walls will crumble down So I called up my man Michael Dropped everything and oh We don't need directions To do what we need done And we learn to travel lightly We learn to travel strong If we never lost the fire We'd win before too long No you don't look back And you can't delay You've got to sail away Sail away We may not ever be coming back this way Sail away Another place to be, another day Sail away, sail away And we're too controlled for laughing Whereas nothing could go wrong When we met with two more strangers That were friends before too long And we switched them together Could take on the whole world No regrets, no longing Got things the way they were No you don't look back And you can't delay You've got to sail away Sail away We may not ever be coming back this way Sail away Another place to be, another day Sail away, sail away No more people to hold me down Fight the ghost in my home town All the walls will crumble down And sail away We may not ever be coming back this way Sail away Another place to be, another day
