I heard their ship went down
They were so close
Land in sight, were they all right?
Did they find that hope and healing?
The news broke
So I stopped my boat
And plugged the holes from leaking
If they went down
What stops me now
From also flooding, from sinking?
But the stars were beautiful that night
And they sailed, they sailed some more
No land in sight, just dark and cold
As they searched out for that shore
And the stars were beautiful that night
As they waited for the dawn
When the sun would rise
They'd lift their eyes
And hope to find out something
Or was it all for nothing?
Woh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh
Was it all for nothing?
Woh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh
And now my ship goes down
Was I even close?
No land in sight, I'll be all right
I wanted hope or healing
No wind for sails
I stopped my boat
But I could not stop the leaking
I may go down, but it's fine now
And no more wishful thinking
And the stars were beautiful that night
So I sailed, I sailed some more
No land in sight, just dark and cold
As I searched out for that shore
And the stars were beautiful that night
As I was waiting for the dawn
When the sun would rise
I'd lift my eyes
And hope to find out something
Or was it all for nothing?
Woh-oh-oh
Maybe it was for nothing?
Woh-oh-oh
Maybe it was for nothing?
Woh-oh-oh
Maybe it was for nothing?
