It should begin a lot like this
But I don't really know
It's hard to follow
When you've got everywhere to go
This world we wrap ourselves up in
Is moving far too fast
Like the heartbeat of a hummingbird
It's gone before it lasts
So take the chance
We're no hearts of gold
We've sinned our share
But watch us grow
If all we've got to live for
Are the lives we're living here
Is it fair to ask for something more
Is it right that we should fear
So come let's climb on mountains
Where we can't hear anyone
We will climb so high we'll leave the land
Come join me on the sun
So take the chance
It'll be alright
Some will die young
But not tonight
And sailing ships away they drift
Apart like you and I
Please don't ask me where I'm going
I couldn't tell you if I tried
But there's only so much ocean
Where those eager boats can go
There is only so much ocean
They will meet again I know
But we've only got 100 years to live
And we've only got 100 years to give
And sailing ships away they drift
Apart like you and I
Please don't ask me where I'm going
I couldn't tell you if I tried
But there's only so much ocean
Where those eager boats can go
There is only so much ocean
They will meet again I know
