Floating in the water
All the other ships around
Look to the horizon
Where the sun is setting down

Waiting for a strong wind
To catch on all my sails
Push me out the harbor
I can’t wait to tell the tales

Let’s explore together
We’ll race and chase like brothers do
Out to the horizon
Through the waves just me and you

Push me out the harbor

And I know that the ocean can be a scary place
But I’ll row and promise you that I will keep you safe
So pull up your anchor and let’s conquer the sea
Mother, brother, father, sister, friend follow me

Way out in the open
Where it seems our dreams come true
We’ll look up at the stars
To navigate the ocean blue

The wind is picking up
The waves crashing on the deck
The storm is growing louder
But my ship it will not wreck

The sky is getting darker
But I’m heading towards the light
Out past the horizon
With the sun I’ll be alright

And I know that the ocean can be a scary place
But I’ll row and promise you that I will keep you safe
So pull up your anchor and let’s conquer the sea
Mother, brother, father, sister, friend follow me

Floating in the water
Although I’m not in sight
I’m just over the horizon
Where someday we’ll reunite

And when we are together
We’ll race and chase yea you and me
Meet me at the sunset
We’ll sail for eternity

Over the horizon.
