On the nearest far horizon
Proud and free, the tall ships travel
You can see their silhouette
Against a pirate's moon
Their fate depends on the hand of God
To guide them deep inside them
They pitch their sails into the gales
And stand, wheel in hand
Till their compass finds dry land
Baby we're all tall ships
Braving the raging sea
Trying to find some calm beyond the storm
And live strong and free
If we can challenge the waves on the ocean
And harness the tides of emotion
It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea
Sail on and on and on and on
Sail on and on with me
You tell me that the winds of change
Have thrown you off your course of travel
You wonder if you're strong enough
To stand the rising tide
Your fate depends on the moves you make
When your direction needs correction
So hold it steady, it's not too late
Find your way, make that change
Sail into the light of day
Baby we're all tall ships
Our banner is rising high
Catching the northern wind and storming
Into the crimson sky
If we can challenge the waves on the ocean
And harness the tides of emotion
It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea
Sail on and on and on and on
Sail on and on with me
Sky writing, exciting and frigtening
Riding the lightning into the shore
Feeling, pitching and reeling
Dreams have no ceiling, love is forevermore
Baby we're all tall ships
Braving the raging sea
Trying to find some calm beyond the storm
And live strong and free
If we can challenge the waves on the ocean
And harness the tides of emotion
It's not so hard to ride life's stormy sea
Sail on and on and on and on
Sail on and on with me
Sail on and on and on and on
Sail on and on with me
Sail on and on and on and on
Sail on and on with me
We are the tall ships
