I Go Sailing

Stevie Wonder

song-cover

I Go Sailing

I took a worthless trip

Down life's avenue

Just to try to find a way to smile again

While I was on my way

I met a wise man who said

That happiness you only find within

I learned my lesson then

So I go sailing

Through the rivers of my mind

I go sailing

Be surprised what you can find

I go sailing

Through the rivers of my mind

Take a chance on your mind

Be surprised what you'll find I took a friend's advice

Who said go up and away

Take the magic of a mystery tour

But I felt so all alone

Though I could almost touch the stars

I started missing things I touched before

The tour was such a bore

So I go sailing

Through the rivers of my mind

I go sailing

Be surprised what you can find

I go sailing

Through the rivers of my mind

Take a chance on your mind

Be surprised what you'll find

(Repeat)
