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.
