I took a worthless trip 

Down life's avenue 

Just to try to find a way to smile again 

While I was on my way 

I met a wise man who said 

That happiness you only find within 

I learned my lesson then 



So I go sailing 

Through the rivers of my mind 

I go sailing 

Be surprised what you can find 

I go sailing 

Through the rivers of my mind 

Take a chance on your mind 

Be surprised what you'll find 



I took a friend's advice 

Who said go up and away 

Take the magic of a mystery tour 

But I felt so all alone 

Though I could almost touch the stars 

I started missing things I touched before 

The tour was such a bore 



So I go sailing 

Through the rivers of my mind 

I go sailing 

Be surprised what you can find 

I go sailing 

Through the rivers of my mind 

Take a chance on your mind 

Be surprised what you'll find
