Voyage
(Esther Ofarim sings it 1981)
(by Eberhard Schoener)

see video with a special mix of this song here:


Through unknown waters
I travel abord my ship
Resembling many others that flow on oceans and seas.
For a long time I loaded my ship with all I possesse

Then I painted it with shining colours
taking care to paint it true

And after I waited for a long time
finally came the hour to leave port

Time goes by

And I start fixing my course
But not that they planned at the start

I now see different this voyage of mine
with no fear of the landing at all

I know my ship's value
and I know the values I carry with me 

I travel on
and you keep on listening to me

The voyage is our life
and the ship is yourself
A ship that's never thrown anchor
and a ship that never will do

Nor the anchor of feelings
nor the anchor of desires
Nor the anchor of feelings
nor the anchor of desires

For you shall never give up
For you shall never give up
You shall never tire of dreaming your dreams
You shall never tire of dreaming your dreams
