    I'm sailin

e for the virg

in sea
            
    I've got t

            
o be free,    

             
free to face t

              
he life that's

   
 ahead of me
            
    On board, 

              
I'm the captai

   
n, so climb ab

oard
            
    We'll sear

re
             
    And I'll t

'll try    to 

                  
carry on


            
    I look to 

           
the sea,   ref

              
lections in th

              
e waves spark 

     
my memory
            
    Some happy

         
, some sad
             
    I think of

              
 childhood fri

              
ends and the d

 
reams we had
            
    We live ha

              
ppily forever,


 so the story 

goes
            
    But someho

              
w we missed ou

 
t on that pot 

of gold
             
    But we'll 

             
try best that 

           
we can,  to ca

               
rry on


             
    A gatherin

             
g of angels ap

             
peared above m

   
y head
             
    They sang 

             
to me this son

              
g of hope, and

             
 this is what 

      
they said
              
    They said

that they were

            
 angels, but t
