i woke up in the middle of the atlantic 

and i had a view of the whole wide world 

and i was on expedition 

expedition sailor 

i was out to find a much better world 

i'm gone away 

odds are not really in 

their favour 

of seeing me home 

i'm gone away 

guess i'll lay it down on this cruise 

to take me off to somewhere... 

i crossed the dateline 

i crossed the equator 

there is no shore i can't call home 

horizons in heavens 

just for the sailor 

i'm out to find a much better world 

i was out to find a much better world 

i'm gone away 

guess i'll lay it down on this cruise 

to take me off to somewhere 

i'm gone away 

odds are not really in our favour 

of seeing me home
