So maybe another way would have been better

if you had been older or had known a thing or two before you set sail for the New World



Sail for the New World, mate

All this ships ahoy

Trouble is all of the things I hate

But I'm still a young boy



In the meantime a chance in the form of a light

Makes a man take a stance and dash his boat up on the rocks

in the dead of night



So what if you had been lucky then

What would it make you?

So there'd be a statue so people won't forget you set sail for the New World



Sail for the New World, mate

Let's not and say we did

Trouble comes and it seals your fate

As you turn into the skid



Sail for the New World, mate

All ships ahoy

Trouble comes when you graduate

But I'm still a young boy
