I see sails, and I see sunsets,
I hear voices far from shore,
Some are close, some are distant,
Some call back where lake birds soar,
He said my life is like a river,
Flowing from the west to east,
And upon those transient waters,
My soul will be released
So sail on, sail on,
Till the journey's end,
So sail on, sail on, friend
Now in my life, I've been a sailor, father, and a son,
I've known the gentle breeze of evening,
And where storm-tossed waves have come,
It's not my hand upon the tiller, nope,
It's not my working of the sails,
But it's the breath of love between hearts,
That grants us pa**age through these gales
So sail on, sail on,
Till the journey's end,
So sail on, sail on, friend
Now you might see me in the sunset,
Where my reflection may arise,
Between some simple act of kindness,
And the under-light of sunrise,
But there no distance between courage,
And all the loves that I hold dear,
Where through the lamps of any star night,
Find my spirit here
So sail on, sail on,
Till the journey's end,
So sail on, sail on, friend
[Instrumental Bridge]
I see sails, and I see sunsets,
I hear the voices far from shore,
Some are close, some are distant,
Some call back where lake birds soar,
He said all my life is like a river,
Flowing from the west to east,
And upon these transient waters,
My soul will be released
So sail on, sail on,
Till the journey's end,
So sail on, sail on, friend
