Sailing On By

I´m taking my chances i´m eager to fly

Fulfilling my hopes and dreams

And i´m sailing on by

Without hesitation with no consideration

I´ll grab opportunities

That are sailing on by

And life keeps getting shorter

I´m everyday closer to death

There´s no time to think

But it´s all the more time to act

And i´m setting my sails

Some people seem to live all of their lives

Dreaming of all things to do

While life´s sailing on by

They seem to pretend that tomorrow will bring

The gain of their waiting

And they´ll be sailing away

Their life keeps getting shorter

They´re everyday closer to death

To wake up one day

Reflecting upon the time they wasted away

Not setting their sails

I´ve got no possessions, no liabilities

I´m free as the bird

While others are sailing on by

I once heard the word practice what you preach

I´m not exactly sure what it means

But i´m sailing on by

My life keeps getting shorter

I´m everyday closer to death

I´ll wake up one day

Reflecting upon the fact

I was living a lie.
