How many people sing along, sing along, yeah, sing along
Don't worry sailor, this ship is yours and you're learning more each day
Don't worry sailor, your heart and mind and eyes will find a way
People been telling you for so long that you're running across thin ice, yeah

And all those dreams have been foolish schemes besides
No money, no dreams - it don't seem much
Looks like all I could ever hope to see
Don't worry sailor, this ship is yours and you're learning more each day
Don't worry sailor, your heart and mind and eyes will find a way
People been telling you for so long that you're running across thin ice, yeah
But now and then you feel too strong to take up their advice, yeah
Take up their advice, yeah, whoa
