Lyrics

[Refrain]

Just like a ship

Hmm, without a sail

Without a sail

Just like a ship

Just like a ship

Hmm, without a sail

Without a sail

[Chorus]

But I'm not worried because I know

But I know we can take it

I know

But I know we can take it

I know we can shake it

But I know we can shake it

I know we can take it

But I know we can take it

[Verse 1]

I searched for pleasure

I searched for pleasure

But I found pain

But I found pain

I looked for sunshine

I looked for sunshine

Yes, I did

But I found rain

But I found rain

[Verse 2]

And then I looked for my friends

I looked for my friends

They all walked away

But they walked away

Through all the sorrow

Through all of my sorrow

You can hear me say

You can hear me say

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey, I know

But I know we can make it

We don't have no money, but I know

But I know we can make it

Sure gonna make it

I know we can shake it

But I know we can shake it

'Cause we are a proud people

I know we can take it

But I know we can take it

[Refrain]

I'm just like a ship

Without a sail

Within our world today

I'm just like a ship

Without a sail

Within our world today

[Refrain]

Love's like a ship

Without a sail

Without a sail

Just like a ship

Just like a ship

Lord knows, I don't have a sail

Without a sail

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, but I know

But I know we can make it

Yeah, I know

But I know we can make it

I know we can shake it

But I know we can shake it

I know we can take it

But I know we can take it
