Verse 1
Beyond the harbour
Beyond the light
Out where the ocean
Swallows the night
Something is rising
White on the blue
Carried by nothing
But heaven and you
Verse 2
No land beneath him
No place to rest
Only the wild wind
Under his breast
Storms may surround him
Blacken the foam
Still he keeps flying
The whole ocean home
Chorus
Fly, Albatross, fly
Over the edge of the world
Rise where the thunder
And heavens collide
Fly, Albatross, fly
Carry your wings to the sun
Born for the ocean
And nowhere to hide
Verse 3
He knows the silence
He knows the gale
Knows how the great waves
Rise up and fail
Thousands of miles pass
Under his wings
Still through the darkness
The Albatross sings
Chorus
Fly, Albatross, fly
Over the edge of the world
Rise where the thunder
And heavens collide
Fly, Albatross, fly
Carry your wings to the sun
Born for the ocean
And nowhere to hide
Bridge — building
Higher…
Higher…
Into the blue
Nothing below him
But oceans of truth
Higher…
Higher…
Into the light
One lonely heartbeat
Against endless night
Final Chorus — soaring
FLY, ALBATROSS, FLY
OVER THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
RISE THROUGH THE TEMPEST
WITH GREAT WINGS UNFURLED
FLY, ALBATROSS, FLY
WHERE EARTH AND ETERNITY MEET
KING OF THE OCEAN
WITH HEAVEN BENEATH YOUR FEET
Outro
No road…
No harbour…
No footprints…
No shore…
Only the wind
And the Albatross
Soaring
Forevermore.
