Текст песни: 1784 + перевод

As the sun shines down on a Suffolk town

The bells ring out in joy.

They’ll christen him John and his whole life long

He will be bold, he will be strong.

He’ll travel far and he’ll lay the path for

His sons, his heirs and I.

And since the day he died

His name survives where his footsteps lie.

Sail away, don’t try to turn around.

To the lights and you might find

A better place, a better time.

This is meant

This is meant

This is meant to be.

He packs his tools and his mother’s rules

He heads out on the road.

I have been told that the journey was hard,

But looking now you wouldn’t know.

In London life will shine so bright,

With hope and love and more.

Greeted by a dawning age

Like nothing seen before.

Sail away, don’t try to turn around.

To the lights and you might find

A better place, a better time,

This is meant

This is meant,

This is meant to be.

And he said Catharine will you marry me?

Have my children watch them grow?

And in the years to come they’ll bear our hearts,

This love will be in their souls.

Sail away, don’t try to turn around.

To the lights and you might find

A better place, a better time.

This is meant

This is meant

This is meant to be.

This is meant

This is meant

This is meant to be
