Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me die
Hold on Hold on
Faith will never betray us
'Cause we belong to mother earth
And one day to her we'll return to
Have mercy please! We want to live
And get back to where we belong to
The deep blue sea won't have our dreams
Together we're stronger than ever
I close my eyes and feel your arms around me
Your touch, your lips so sweet, a gift from Heaven
How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever
How many more must die as we sail on forever
Sail on Sail on
On this ocean of madness
Endless days and sleepless nights
Waiting for something to happen
Sail on Sail on
With nothing but water around us
The stars at night should guide us right
But clouds are always against us
I close my eyes and feel your arms around me
Your touch, your lips so sweet, a gift from Heaven
How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever
How many more must die as we sail on forever
Sail on Sail on
Waves are way above us
We've got no chance our lives will end
Our faith has played against us
I close my eyes and feel your arms around me
Your touch, your lips so sweet, a gift from Heaven
How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever
How many more must die as we sail on forever
How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever
How many more must die as we sail on forever
"Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie
Glad did I live and gladly die
And I laid me down with a will
This be the verse you grave for me
Here he lies where he longed to be
Home is the sailor home from sea
And the hunter home from the hill"
