[Verse 1]
I took a worthless trip
Down life's avenue
Just to try to find a way to smile again
While I was on my way
I met a wise man who said
That happiness you only find within
I learned my lesson then
[Chorus]
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
[Verse 2]
I took a friend's advice
Who said go up and away
Take the magic of a mystery tour
But I felt so all alone
Though I could almost touch the stars
I started missing things I touched before
The tour was such a bore
[Chorus]
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Spend some time going sailing
Be surprised what you can find
Be surprised what you find and go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
Go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
Go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
Sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Yeah
I took a worthless trip
Down life's avenue
Just to try to find a way to smile again
While I was on my way
I met a wise man who said
That happiness you only find within
I learned my lesson then
[Chorus]
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
[Verse 2]
I took a friend's advice
Who said go up and away
Take the magic of a mystery tour
But I felt so all alone
Though I could almost touch the stars

The tour was such a bore
[Chorus]
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Spend some time going sailing
Be surprised what you can find
Be surprised what you find and go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
Go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
Go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you'll find
Sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
