[Verse 1]
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

[Verse 2]
I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free

[Chorus]
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro' the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro' the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say

[Verse 3]
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

[Outro]
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh (my) Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh (my) Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord
