[Verse 1]
So (So) maybe another way would (Would) have been better
If (If) you had been older or had known a thing or two before you
Set sail for the New World

[Chorus]
Sail for the New World, mate
All ships ahoy
Trouble is all of the things I hate
But I'm still a young boy

[Bridge]
In the meantime a chance in the form of a light
Makes a man take a stance and dash his boat up on the rocks
In the dead of night
The rocks in the dead of night
The rocks in the dead of night

[Verse 2]
So (So) what if you had been lucky then (Then)
What would it make you?
So (So) there'd be a statue so people won't forget you
(People won't forget you)
Set sail for the New World

[Chorus]
Sail for the New World, mate
Let's not and say we did
Trouble comes and it seals your fate
As you turn into the skid
Sail for the New World, mate
All ships ahoy
Trouble comes when you graduate
But I'm still a young boy
But I'm still a young boy
But I'm still a young boy
