Mother, I hear the world calling
Out my name, asking me to come
Father, I feel the wind whisper
The secrets of everything that asks to be uncovered
Can I take my leaving?
Will I dare to surrender the care of my childhood to go sailing
Out on the ocean?
Open sea
Is this how it feels to be
Free and imaginative
Hopeful with so much to give
Open and loving and strong
With the wind in our hair we'll be flying
Leaving the shore behind
The warmth from the sun is kind
Kissing the sea
Kissing the skin on my face
We found our very own place
In this beautiful world
Son, you'll find your way
Roaming through the forest within you
Daughter, I'd hope to come with you
But life has its plan
And so I must remain behind
Can I let you go?
Like arrow from bow
One day you'll be more than you know
And be my friend
And I'll be sailing
Out on the open sea
And know how it feels to be
Free and imaginative
Hopeful with so much to give
Open and loving and strong
With the wind in your hair you'll be flying
Leaving the shore behind
Leaving the shore behind
The warmth from the sun will be kind
Kissing the skin on your face
You found your very own place
In this beautiful world
In this beautiful world
In this beautiful world
In this beautiful world
In this beautiful world

In this beautiful world
