Sailing on a summer breeze,
going back to my island
Nearly done my time,
my life will be mine once again
The distant past,
so far behind,
and I hope there hasn't been many changes
Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time
Oh,
I wanna be the air that's free Oh,
I wanna feel the warmth and beneath my
feet And the sun on my face,
yeah
Oh, oh
Couldn't say goodbye through no father, man
to my loved ones
But sent a message through from my first
part of call
I was pressed in a time by the men from the
line They didn't tell me where I was going
And I haven't seen my island for such a long time
Oh,
I sailed upon the seven seas Oh,
you wouldn't believe the things I've
seen When I get home I'll tell you
Oh,
I wanna be the air that's free Oh,
I wanna feel the warmth and beneath my feet
And the sun on my face, yeah Oh,
oh
And I'm sailing on a summer breeze,
going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine
once again
The distant past,
so far behind,
and I hope there hasn't been many changes
Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
