lyrics

So many times you struggled and stole; through the deepest grey
Too many times lined up on your goal to have it snatched away
But all your dedication and drive; kept you in the game
Bringing your bright ambition alive, and now they know your name

One bad day can chase another
Lucky you’re learning fast
Wiser and stronger for the past
Your chance is here at last, so...

Sails up! You got the wind now
Your cause is bound to win, now
You’re past the pack and running clear
Trust in the choice you’re making
That quest you’re undertaking
Seize every moment, never fear
You’ll hit the heights I’m hoping
This door is always open
When friendly breezes draw you near

Over achiever, steady believer
Ready to leave, for places strange
Late realising, destiny rising
Normal horizons rearranged
Closing the front door, people you care for
Leaving the world forever changed
Tell your tale, set your sail
Glide away

And if your past connection to home has you torn in two
Rest assured, wherever you roam, we’ll still be here for you

One success can build another
Now that you’ve come this far
Stand tall and show ‘em who you are
You’re up – a rising star, so...

Sails up! You got the wind now
Your cause is bound to win, now
You’re past the pack and running clear
Trust in the choice you’re making
That quest you’re undertaking
Seize every moment, never fear
You’ll hit the heights I’m hoping
This door is always open
When friendly breezes draw you near
