(john farrar)

If a ship of dreams bid me come, would i board it?
If i had their gold in my hands, would i hoard it?
If i knew the trials i must face, would i carry on at all?

Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--lord help us to survive

If his pretty eyes shone my way, would i leave you?
If i wasn't sure he would stay, would i deceive you?
If i had to melt you with promises, would they stand or fall?

Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive

If time should call me a fool, would i laugh or would i care?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive
