On the nearest far horizon Proud and free, the tall ships travel You can see their silhouette Against a pirate's moon Their fate depends on the hand of God To guide them deep inside them They pitch their sails into the gales And stand, wheel in hand Till their compass finds dry land Baby we're all tall ships Braving the raging sea Trying to find some calm beyond the storm And live strong and free If we can challenge the waves on the ocean And harness the tides of emotion It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea Sail on and on and on and on Sail on and on with me You tell me that the winds of change Have thrown you off your course of travel You wonder if you're strong enough To stand the rising tide Your fate depends on the moves you make When your direction needs correction So hold it steady, it's not too late Find your way, make that change Sail into the light of day Baby we're all tall ships Our banner is rising high Catching the northern wind and storming Into the crimson sky If we can challenge the waves on the ocean And harness the tides of emotion It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea Sail on and on and on and on Sail on and on with me Sky writing, exciting and frigtening Riding the lightning into the shore Feeling, pitching and reeling Dreams have no ceiling, love is forevermore Baby we're all tall ships Braving the raging sea Trying to find some calm beyond the storm And live strong and free If we can challenge the waves on the ocean And harness the tides of emotion It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea Sail on and on and on and on Sail on and on with me Sail on and on and on and on Sail on and on with me Sail on and on and on and on Sail on and on with me We are the tall ships
