Sailing ship (Behind the song)
To sail on the sea is wonderful experience, to smell the salty air and feel the windy breeze as the ship quietly cuts through the smooth silky water. But not so with the sailing ship of the song, it’s a different kind of journey that takes you farther than you intended to go. We all go on journeys that we sailed away on only to find we wanted to get back even if it only meant back to square one or even less, just get back. The fact is some wrong decisions take away from us values we didn’t intend to loose whether they be monetary ones or otherwise. They leave us wanting to get back at whatever cost. To be with family and friends and that all this unwanted trip can be forever forgotten. As Psalm 73:2 tells accurately , “As for me, my feet had almost strayed; My steps had nearly slipped.” We want intensely for Proverbs 4:26 to be fulliled on us, “ Smooth out the course of your feet, And all your ways will be sure.” So whether this decision took us sailing on a wrong course or a just a monetary loss it can sail us back home if we just want to take the steps to turn back. As the last line of the chorus says,”You’ve got to sail me back home” May your sailing ship get you back home as did mine.

SAILING SHIP
I’M ON MY OWN GOTTA FIGHT THE WINDSTORM
LEFT ON A SAILING SHIP
THAT I THOUGHT COULD BRING ME BACK HOME
BUT IT TOOK ME FAR TO ANOTHER SIDE OF LIFE
A SIDE I HAVE NEVER BEEN
AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE AGAIN
(CHORUS)
SAILING SHIP DON’T CALL ME
I DON’T REALLY WANT TO GO
YOU’VE GOT TO SAIL ME BACK HOME
I ALMOST LOST EVERYTHING I EER WANTED IN MY LAFE
JUST FOR A SAILING SHIP
THAT COULD HAVE CHANGED A COURSE IN TIME
NOW HERE I AM
STANDING BETWEEN THE SEA AND LAND
WAITING FOR THAT SOUTHBOUND WIND
TO CARRY ME IN
(CHORUS)
(INTERLUDE_
I WANT TO BE THERE
WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND
WITH HY HEART TURNING ‘ROUND
BOUND TO THE THINGS I LOVE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
