Lyrics
verse one
You've been given a chance, but you've failed to get the break, when your bones are cold and your body shakes
You've given it your all, and all you've got to show for it is tears, it's hard to face to fear, oh, it's here.
verse two
When you're eager to smile, yet
you're all alone, screaming out inside, oh,
where's the love? oh, where's the love? it's been a while,
just steer dead ahead, and let the seagulls fly, let 'em catch your eyes, let 'em guide you high, feel it deep inside,
chorus
Cast your sails, and let the morning come, let the ocean waves take you out to a new paradise, where joy and love are one,
where dreams are made to be one, where love is shared by all, where life is born again, (this message I give to you)
so keep your eyes toward the skies and salute the rising sun.
bridge
a sun of purity, a sun of energy, a sun that warms you and me, it runs our homes and cities,
oh, it keeps us strong, it gives us love, so when you've failed to find that source of light from up above,
don't worry, be rest assured, just have peace for all it's worth, for your voices will be heard, so keep your eyes toward the skies and salute the rising sun.
final chorus.
