  			  Am 
A voice is on the wind 
   Dm 
It calls me further in 
    Am             C         G 
I'm heading deeper into your heart 
     Am 
Your mark is on my chest 
   Dm 
My sails filled with your breath 
    Am              C            G 
You guide me by the light of the stars 


                 F                     C 
I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life 
                   F                C 
I wrestle with the wind against the tide 
                 F                 Am 
I leave it all behind to reach for more 
            G                 Am 
I'm sailing on to your golden shore 


       Am 
Though skies go blue to grey 
        Dm 
And I'm thrown from wave to wave 
    Am                    C             G 
You still will hear these lungs singing hard 
     Am 
With every storm I face 
  Dm 
I find a greater grace 
     Am              C         G 
That pulls me deeper into your heart 


                 F                     C 
I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life 
                   F                C 
I wrestle with the wind against the tide 
                 F                 Am 
I leave it all behind to reach for more 
            G 
I'm sailing on 
                     F                 C 
To where the water's running sweet and bright 
                  F              C 
The sun is rising in the eastern sky 
                 F                 Am 
I leave it all behind to reach for more 
            G                 Am 
I'm sailing on to your golden shore
