The evils of men are written on the brass
And the good one upon the water
The evils of men are written on the brass
And the good one upon the water
When you're right, no one remembers
When you're wrong, no one forgets
When I'm right, no one remembers
When I'm wrong, no one forgets
Who can please the world?
No one can please the world
Jesus Christ tried to please the world
Then he was crucified, crucified
Take my life, oh Lord
Let it be, let it be
Take my soul, take my everything, oh Lord
Let it be, let it be
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day

So many people think life is a dream
They make their life so difficult
Too many people think life is a dream
They make their life too difficult
You can run but you can't hide
No matter what you do
The captain of the ship was asleep
Then I've to take over the navigation of my boat
Sea waves from the north to the south almost capsized my boat
I and I must paddle with some oar in this world we're living in
But through the powers of the most high, sail on, sail on
Through the powers of the most high, try on at that try on
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing through the sea every night, every day
Lord, I've been flying, travelling like a bird every night, every day
Lord, I've been travelling, flying through the land every night, every day
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day
'Til my dying day
'Til my dying day
'Til my dying day
'Til my dying day
'Til my dying day
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day
Lord, I've been sailing, sailing 'til I die
Lord, I've been flying 'til my dying day
