We gotta sail away
now go to leave this world
we gotta sail away
just you and me, you and me

So im moving on in my own direction, babe
you know i cant stay here any longer
i found out through the grapevine
there is a place far away, far away

im gonna start my journey early in the morning
before the sun rises and the moon is still aglow
im gonna take a trip, im gonna sail away
ill open my mind, see what i find before a brand new day,
yeah, yeah,

we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, babe
we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, you and me, babe

now as i leave this world i look back and wonder
shall i remember all the things that i have seen ?
now people to the left of me, people to the right
see me on the mountain top in ways of your bright white light

but when i reach my destination i will pray
that those i left behind me follow me one day
you take what you can to avoid frustration
thats why im coming to the rainbow nation

we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, babe
we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, you and me, babe

we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, babe
we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, you and me, babe

now as i climb to the mountain top
follow me (yeah)
follow me (yeah)
follow me, follow me
follow me (ohh)

we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, babe
we gotta sail away, now as we leave this world
we gotta sail away just you and me, you and me, babe
