Sovereign of the Seas

We are ready to set sail and soon we are on our way the captain say here is no delay.
Our work is almost done we watching the setting sun, and soon we let go all the lines.
She is a beauty and a Queen a true sailors dream sailing to the sea with Sovereign
She is white like the swan here she sails into the dawn and the Captain says here is no delay.

We sails where the red sun sets somewhere fare in the west it is time to find the one you love
We see the fish swims in the sea and the birds fly wild and free and the captain said here is no
delay

We are swimming in the sea kids playing in the sand Life is good when you hold my hand.
But soon we have to go it is time to rock and roll And the captain said here is no delay.
