Sail Away

Anchors aboard!

It’s time to cast away

From the shores!

There’s so much out there

Waiting to be explored!

I’ve seen everything here

Nothing amazes me here

Same old masquerades

Can’t waste anymore days!

Anchors aboard!

I’m sailing away

Sailing away

I would like for you

To come along

It will be glorious!

Sailing the mass oceans

See more to the world

For what it is

Help me sail this ship!

See all different kinds of places

Meeting all kinds of new faces

Sailing day and night

Sun—be our time keeper

North star—be our guide

Enjoy the sounds of the waves

Crashing on the side

Doesn’t matter where we’re going

Enjoy the essence of exploring!

Getting away from the

Everyday commotion

Take in the smells of the ocean

And the seven seas

Come! Sail away with me!

We’re young

Let’s be wild and free!

Break away from all the rules

They don’t fit well with people

Like me and you

Even when the waves get rough

We’ll pull through

And have an interesting story

To talk about

In all of its glory

Come! Let the sails spread out!

Adventure will be full and wholly!

Anchors aboard!

It’s time to cast away

From the shores!

There’s so much out there

Waiting to be explored!

I’m sailing away

Sailing away

Come! Join me on this journey!

For yet to be written days
