Sail On Sailor Songtext

Sail On Sailor Songtext
I am a singer
A gospel singer
I sing for people
I sing for pleasure
I′m only a dreamer
Who came from nowhere
Sail on, sail on sailor
Over the city
I see the rooftops
To soothe my poor soul
I thought a whole lot
I'm often frightened
I′m unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Just like my Mama said
Ray there's a way
But you gotta get yourself
Out of that Ghetto today
You might stumble
You could fumble
When you're down son
Don′t feel under
Damn the thunder
And the lightnin′
Dawn is frightenin'
When you′re coked out
Heartbreak city
Ain't so pretty
When you′re down
And nitty-gritty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Damn the thunder
And the lightnin'
Dawn is frightenin′
When you're coked out
Heartbreak city
Ain't so pretty
When you′re down
And nitty-gritty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor.
A gospel singer
I sing for people
I sing for pleasure
I′m only a dreamer
Who came from nowhere
Sail on, sail on sailor
Over the city
I see the rooftops
To soothe my poor soul
I thought a whole lot
I'm often frightened
I′m unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Just like my Mama said
Ray there's a way
But you gotta get yourself
Out of that Ghetto today
You might stumble
You could fumble
When you're down son
Don′t feel under
Damn the thunder
And the lightnin′
Dawn is frightenin'
When you′re coked out
Heartbreak city
Ain't so pretty
When you′re down
And nitty-gritty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Damn the thunder
And the lightnin'
Dawn is frightenin′
When you're coked out
Heartbreak city
Ain't so pretty
When you′re down
And nitty-gritty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor.
