I've seen many men wandering, all strong and brave and keen
Seen them growing into rulers, but I long for the sea
Heard a ship came from north to our harbour for a day
Before misfortune knows, I'll be on my way
(I'll be on my way) I'll be on my way
(I'll be on my way) I'll be on my way
I'm all set to veer away, and
I'm all set to go astray
Your burdens I will leave ashore
To find what I've been longing for
I'm all set to veer away, and
I'm all set to go astray
Your burdens I will leave ashore
To find what I've been longing for
♪
Don't tell anyone that this night I'll be gone
Greeting the eternal blue right at the break of morn
Sailing towards the unknown with my crew on the sea
The day that I return, a hero I shall be
A hero I shall be
A hero I shall be
I'm all set to veer away, and
I'm all set to go astray
Your burdens I will leave ashore
To find what I've been longing for
I'm all set to veer away, and
I'm all set to go astray
Your burdens I will leave ashore
To find what I've been longing for
♪
I'm all set to veer away, and
I'm all set to go astray
Your burdens I will leave ashore
To find what I've been longing
I'm all set to veer away, and (for)
I'm all set to go astray (oh, the longing)
Your burdens I will leave ashore (oh)
To find what I've been longing for (oh, oh)
