When I was a young girl, I wanted to sail around the world

The lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier
[PRE CHORUS]

I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky

Lightning clash, tempers flare 'Round the horn if you dare
[CHORUS]

So why should it stop me I'll conquer and stay free
[PRE CHORUS]

Oh, c'mon all you boys, let's forget and forgive

There's a world to explore tales to tell back on shore
