When I was just a little boy
I always wanted to go away to sea
And now I'm that much older
But I ain't much wiser
I should have gone 'cause it keeps on calling me
I used to stand upon the shore
And dream about the life I'd live some day
With me and my grandfather
Would be upon the water
And canvas sails would fill and blow us far away
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
I ain't going home no more
Cause I've seen beyond my childhood skies
And all my late confusion
Is just an old illusion
My dreams remained though the chance has passed me by
There is no right there is no wrong
And we are only what we choose to be
And if I chose to follow
The things I believe in
Then the things that I believe will surely follow me
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
I always wanted to go away to sea
And now I'm that much older
But I ain't much wiser
I should have gone 'cause it keeps on calling me
I used to stand upon the shore
And dream about the life I'd live some day
With me and my grandfather
Would be upon the water
And canvas sails would fill and blow us far away
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
I ain't going home no more
Cause I've seen beyond my childhood skies
And all my late confusion
Is just an old illusion
My dreams remained though the chance has passed me by
There is no right there is no wrong
And we are only what we choose to be
And if I chose to follow
The things I believe in
Then the things that I believe will surely follow me
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
Great ships and great oceans
Brave captains on the waves
Great ships and great emotions
Used to carry me away
