[Verse 1: JC with All]
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right, you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me, oh-oh-oh
It's not far to Never Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
I heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free, yeah
[Verse 2: JC]
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing, sailing
All the world in a reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me? Oh-oh
[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away (takes me away)
To where I've always heard it could be
(Where I wanna be)
I heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free
[Harmony Interlude]
[Bridge: JC]
Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away (takes me away)
To where I've always heard it could be
(I heard it could be)
I heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free, free
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
(I heard it could be)
I heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free, yeah
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right, you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me, oh-oh-oh
It's not far to Never Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
I heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free, yeah
[Verse 2: JC]
