sail around the world

i would sail around the world

look for gold and dive for pearl

but i know i will never get to go

i would like to win a prize

be in everybody's eyes

but it's true

i would probably not get to

my life has always been simple

no one ever knows when i come and go

and my dreams are ending at sunrise

and dreaming just don't make it so

so i've lived with no regret

wouldn't change a thing and yet

now and then

wish that i could start again

my life has always been simple

no one ever knows when i come and go

and my dreams are ending at sunrise

and dreaming just don't make it so

i would sail around the world

look for gold and dive for pearl

but i know i will never get to go

guess it's true

i would probably not get to

oh no

i will never get to go
