Sailing

Close my eyes and I'm carried away,
Smell the salt breeze - It is a lovely day.
Sun is shining warm above,
Fills my heart with the Father's love.
The ocean is such a vast, powerful force,
My little ship has set it's course.
Waves and wind will carry me,
I will ride the tide - Be free.
Close your eyes - You can come along,
Please believe you belong.
The sun also shines for you,
The Father loves you too.
Our hearts carry us to a land far away,
Even if it is...
Just For Today,
Close your eyes and be free.
Come and sail with me.
Quote by Oliver Windell Holmes
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I find the great thing in this world, is not so much where we stand,
As in what direction we are moving.
To reach the port of Heaven,
We must sail sometimes with the wind,
And sometimes against it...
But we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Lyrics
Well it's not far down to paradise.
At least it's not for me.
And if the wind is right you can sail away,
Find tranquility.
Oh the canvas can do miracles.
Just you wait and see.
Believe me.
It's not far to never-never land.
No reason to pretend.
And if the wind is right you can find the joy,
Of innocence again.
Oh the canvas can do miracles.
Just you wait and see.
Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where,
I've always heard it could be.
Just the wind and a dream to carry me,
And soon I will be free.
Fantasy, it gets the best of me,
When I'm sailing.
All caught up in the reverie,
Every word is a symphony.
Won't you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where,
I've always heard it could be.
Just a dream and the wind to carry me,
And soon I will be free.
Well, it's not far back to sanity.
At least it's not for me.
And if the wind is right you can,
Sail away and find serenity.
Oh the canvas can do miracles.
Just you wait and see.
Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where,
I've always heard it could be.
Just a dream and the wind to carry me,
And soon I will be free.
