sailing down this golden river

sailing down my golden river

sun and water all my own

yet i was never alone

sun and water

old life givers

i'll have them where ere i roam

and i was not far from home

sunlight glancing on the water

life and death are all my own

yet i was never alone

life for all my sons and daughters

golden sparkles in the foam

and i was not far from home

sailing down this winding highway

travelers from near and far

and i was never alone

exploring all the little byways

sighting all the distant stars

and i was not far from home

sailing down my golden river

sun and water all my own

yet i was never alone

sun and water

old life givers

i'll have them where ere i roam

and i was not far from home

yet i was never alone

and i was not far from home
