Uriah Heep - Southern Star lyrics

Crowds were waiting on the quay For their hero of the sea From the greatest battle won A toast to freedom for everyone He talked of fear and the cannons roar Sent a thousand souls to the ocean floor Victory was a simple plan Put in place by no common man Set sail for the southern star Set sail for the southern star Haul away you restless souls Set sail for the southern star He says that he won't sail no more He's hanging up his uniform But he cannot control his soul He's got to chase that pot of gold Ever fearless universe Hold our nations together Teach these words to young and old Forever Cut the anchor, today we sail On trackless seas through storm and gale To where the deepest water lies To the warmer winds and balmy skies Never to return
