| Life in this city is getting me down
|
| I feel I can’t go on
|
| I’ve wasted my time on this money-go-round
|
| And killed all my dreams but one
|
| Worshipping idols of concrete and steel
|
| I’ve sacrificed all for their grace
|
| Way down inside me, the dream is so real
|
| And one day I’ll run from this place
|
| We’ll go sailing forever, we’ll go with the tide
|
| In the hands of a summer breeze
|
| Searching for treasure in far distant lands
|
| At the end of the seven seas
|
| Here in this city, you work like a slave
|
| Nobody tells you why
|
| And nobody cares if you dig your own grave
|
| To pay for the day you die
|
| The broken down dirty town air is so cold
|
| And promise is tattered and torn
|
| But I’ve got a dream that I keep in my soul
|
| And one day that dream will be born
|
| We’ll be counting the silver in the rays of the moon
|
| As far as the eye can see
|
| Diamonds from heaven and gold from the sun
|
| In a land where a man is free
|
| Sailing forever, we’ll go with the tide
|
| In the hands of a summer breeze
|
| Searching for treasure in far distant lands
|
| At the end of the seven seas
|
| Here in this city for mile after mile
|
| Nobody turns your way
|
| You long for affection, you crave for a smile
|
| But love is all hidden away
|
| Here in this city, it’s so hard to find
|
| A friend with a helping hand
|
| So come with me, run with me, leave it behind
|
| Sail to the promised land
|
| We’ll be counting the silver in the rays of the moon
|
| As far as the eye can see
|
| Diamonds from heaven and gold from the sun
|
| In a land where a man is free
|
| Sailing forever, we’ll go with the tide
|
| In the hands of a summer breeze
|
| Searching for treasure in far distant lands
|
| At the end of the seven seas
|
| Counting the silver in the rays of the moon
|
| As far as the eye can see
|
| Diamonds from heaven and gold from the sun
|
| In a land where a man is free
|
| Sailing forever, we’ll go with the tide
|
| In the hands of a summer breeze
|
| Searching for treasure in far distant lands
|
| At the end of the seven seas
|
| Counting the silver in the rays of the moon
|
| As far as the eye can see
|
| Diamonds from heaven and gold from the sun
|
| In a land where a man is free
|
| Sailing forever, we’ll go with the tide
|
| In the hands of a summer breeze
|
| Searching for treasure in far distant lands
|
| At the end of the seven seas |
