Sail the Ocean
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because of all the memories that burn
Where I will go, there is no return and time
will heal my yearn
I dream about the world and I'm still young
I got to live my life while I am free
There is so much, from you I will keep
Feel the wonder
of tomorrow
in you
Baby, I am sorry
but I have to leave and sail the ocean
by myself
Maybe there will come a
day for us to find a way to let us
meet again
Maybe this is not the end...
Listen to the wind between the trees
Watch the stars shine for you and me
Open your eyes, it ain't hard to find the
miracles in the night
Dive into the ocean of your dreams
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
If you feel lost and might be afraid and
lonely in the rain
Paint the picture
of tomorrow
in you
Baby, I am sorry
but I have to leave and sail the ocean
by myself
Maybe there will come a
day for us to find a way to let us
meet again
I'm saying goodbye
baby, please don't cry
'cause forever we'll be more than friends
maybe this is not the end
maybe this is not the end
I hope I'll see you someday
But for now goodbye
I spread my wings and fly
Maybe this is not the end
Sail the ocean by myself
Baby, I am sorry
but I have to leave and sail the ocean
by myself
Maybe there will come a
day for us to find a way to let us
meet again
I'm saying goodbye
baby, please don't cry
'cause forever we'll be more than friends
maybe this is not the end
maybe this is not the end
The lyrics of Darin's song Sail the ocean express a bittersweet feeling of farewell and the uncertainty of the future. Through the verses, the singer is torn between their desire to discover the world and the nostalgia for the memories they are leaving behind. The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the regretful acknowledgment that some things cannot be undone, and the only way is forward. However, the chorus suggests that the distance may not necessarily mean the end of a relationship, but rather a break that could lead to a reunion in the future.
In contrast to the melancholy of the verses, the refrain and the bridge of the song encourage hope and faith. The singer urges their loved one to see the beauty in the world and to trust in tomorrow's possibilities. The image of the wind, the stars, and the ocean alludes to a vast and marvelous universe that awaits our exploration. Hence, the song's message seems to be that while goodbyes can be painful, they can also be the starting point of new adventures and discoveries.

The best song ever. Its gives you a glint of hope now...... to keep going and in the end.... at the destination the hope that helped you all along simply fades away. But when you look back, there's no regret.
Some things crosses our path only to give us direction to where we need to be later.
