 Seen many harbours, where I took rest a while.

 On this boat called, "near and far".

To be what you must, you must give up what you are.

 Only a wind of hope, my heart said,

Dm                           E    E7
 Braving mystic oceans to ar-rive.

Am                C                   D7/F#  F         E    F  G
 Those who do not leave and choose to stay,   many sur-vive.

 Be you dust, or be you a star.

And though you travel, ma-ny roads.

 There's but one way and that's... the one... you chose.
