I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again across the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird across the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you by and by.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
Will I see you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again across the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
