It's alright, it's okay, that's what they always say, come what may
But are they just some words to keep you satisfied?
Little white lies to keep your dreams alive?
There's a truth, to the words of kindness coming your way,
Don't send them away
If you hear them, know there's someone there to lean on
If you hear them, know there's something you gotta work on
Don't cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive
All your life you've been drifting on the waters, to find a way
To see where you're going, who you'll be
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It's all yours to take or to surrender
Stormy days, stormy nights, don't let your roof cave in,
Don't let it sink in
You gotta take your tools and make yourself a hammer
Show the fools your day's before-and-after
Don't cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive
All your life you've been drifting on the waters, to find a way
To see where you're going, who you'll be
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It's all yours to take or to surrender
Don't cast aside the tide, it's there to help you survive
You'll find a new way of life, I think that
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It's all yours to take or to surrender
Get your pain and take it back to sender
