Come Sail Away

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

Sometimes a soul shines so bright that the world is blinded by her love. And when God calls her home, she sets sail on the oceans of our tears.
Sail on, Heather! But first, a few things for your Journey:
From Mom, your Lifejacket of memories we all hold so dear.
From Dad, some extra spending money stashed by the keel.
From Alicia, an unending supply of bananas. You never know when you'll need to bribe a monkey.
From Ryan, his "Jolly Roger" for those adventurous moments.
From Emilia, a pocket full of kisses and a blanket of hugs to keep you warm.
From Jesus, your passport and your docking fees.
We will always love you, Heather
