Lyrics[]

Original Version[]

Lost in a world of madness
Caught up in the day...

Being away from you is the hardest part
And I don't know what to do
And I live my life and do the best I can
And we can turn this sorrow into something beautiful

Close your eyes
And everything will be alright
We'll sail on through the ocean blue

Tears fall from the skies
But the sun will always shine
Through the darkness all that day
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
I will always pray

Full Version[]

Lost in a world of madness
Caught up in the day
Caught up in the day...

And know how my heart hurts for you
When I see you in that rain
And it's hard 'cause I feel it too
I say a prayer

Cause you're always in my heart
Deep is the love
Close your eyes
'cause everything will be alright
We'll sail it on through the ocean blue

Being away from you is the hardest part
And I don't know what to do
And I live my life and do the best I can
And we can turn this sorrow into something beautiful

Close your eyes
And everything will be alright
We'll sail on through the ocean blue

Tears fall from the skies
But the sun will always shine
Through the darkness all that day
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
I will always pray

Close your eyes
And everything will be alright
We'll sail on through the ocean blue

Close your eyes and dream now
And everything will be alright
We'll sail on through the ocean blue

Close your eyes and dream now
And everything will be alright
We'll sail on through the ocean blue

Tears fall from the skies
But the sun will always shine
Through the darkness all that day
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
I will always pray
