Come Sail Away- Styx

"Free to face the life that's ahead of me"

My summer vacation is literally days away- and that's exactly what I want this summer, a vacation.  The farthest I went last year was to the Omaha zoo and our state fair.  One day vacations......not all that exciting. So, my ideal vacation was to go on a cruise.....I know that's not going to happen.  But a girl can dream, can't she?  However, I still have been checking out cruise fares.  I think I may be able to convince my family to go : )

Well, obviously when you go on a cruise, you "sail" across the sea, hence the song of the day Come Sail Away by Styx.  I used to not be a big Styx faun, probably because my dad overplayed their albums when I was young.  But, over time, they have grown on me.  Come Sail Away is just a pretty awesome song.

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause 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 lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out on the 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 lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me baby
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me"

I thought that they were Angels, but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies

Singing, come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
