Set the sails in motion
Set our hearts on fire
Set us on the ocean
The sailors did conspire

They want to feel alive, they want to feel alive

They set out for the islands
With golden dreams on their mind
And when they gazed into the oceans
You know they felt that fire

And they felt alive, yeah they felt alive

You have always been in me
Said the captain to the sea
You have always been a part of me

You have always held our hearts
Said the sailors to the stars
You have always held our hearts

When the storms were over
The waves had taken toll
The sails and stern were broken
It was time to turn towards home

Just to stay alive, just to stay alive

You are where we want to go
Light the fires and warm our bones
You have always been our home

You have always been our breath
Said the men that were lifted from death
You have always been our breath

And we have seen, seen a light fill the sky, fill the night
We have seen you in the trees, your great love has satisfied

And we came alive, yeah we came alive
