Broken clouds along the blue horizon
The sun is setting and thewind is dying down
Outward bound
There is music all around
Can you hear it it's the
The song of the sea
Soundings taken at the edge of darkness
The widest silences the heart will ever hear
You can steer to the stars along your lee
Set your bearings to the--
The song of the sea
And the song is as ancient as the days
And the wind upon the waves
Let it carry you away, so far away
Trim my sails to greet the breaking morning
Past the headlands to the rolling, open sea
And it comes to me
I have never felt so free
As when I'm listening to the--
The song of the sea
And the song is as different as the days
And the wind upon the waves
Let it carry me away
So far away
Some were meant to watch the world from windows
And never look beyond the road
Beneath their feet
But for me
I was always meant to be
One forever chaing
The song of the sea
