Sailing down my golden river Sun and water all my own Yet I was never alone. Sun and water, old life-givers I'll have them where'er I roam And I was not far from home. Sunlight glancing on the water Life and death are all my own And I was never alone. Life to raise my sons and daughters Golden sparkles in the foam And I was not far from home. Sailing down this winding highway Travellers from near and far Yet I was never alone. Exploring all the little by-ways Sighting all the distant stars Yet I was not far from home. Sailing down my golden river Sun and water all my own Yet I was never alone. Sun and water, old life-givers I'll have them where'er I roam And I was not far from home.
