I Will Go Sailing No More
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my silver ship I sail, a dream that ended to soon
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be, all the brave things I'd done
Vanished like a snowflake with the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship, where no man has gone before
But no, it can't be true I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky if I believe I can fly, why I'd fly
Clearly, I will go sailing, no more
The song "I Will Go Sailing No More" is a poignant solo from the character Buzz Lightyear in the movie "Toy Story". The lyrics symbolize Buzz's realization that he is just a toy and that his dreams of being a space ranger were misguided. He had always believed that he was a real space ranger, and his ultimate goal was to return to his home planet, but this dream came to an end suddenly. He had to come to understand that he is just a toy and that his purpose is to be there for his owner, Andy.
The first stanza, "Out among the stars I sail, way beyond the moon, in my silver ship I sail, a dream that ended too soon," describes Buzz's exhilarating and vivid imagination. He flew his toy spaceship with incredible speed and ease. Still, now he realizes that his reality is limited to the world of toys, and his dream of flying among the planets is over. He has a newfound understanding of himself and his life's purpose, as seen in the lyrics of the refrain, "Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for, and I will go sailing no more."
In the second stanza, "All the things I thought I'd be, all the brave things I'd done, vanished like a snowflake with the rising of the sun. Never more to sail my ship, where no man has gone before, and I will go sailing no more," Buzz reflects on his mistaken identity and how his previous thoughts of himself have faded away. He's no longer the space ranger he always thought he was, and the bravery he exhibited in his adventures around Andy's room mean little in the real world. His ship will no longer go on journeys to unexplored territories, and he must face the truth that he's only a toy. Nevertheless, he still holds onto a small bit of hope, hoping that he will be able to fly, although it is now impossible.

I had big dreams and aspirations that were beyond my current reality.
In my silver ship I sail, a dream that ended too soon
I had a specific goal or dream, but it didn't last as long as I had hoped and now it feels like a missed opportunity.
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for
I have come to a place of self-awareness and have found my purpose.
And I will go sailing no more
But I have let go of my previous dreams and will not pursue them anymore.
All the things I thought I'd be, all the brave things I'd done
I had expectations of what I would achieve and had done some admirable things.
Vanished like a snowflake with the rising of the sun
But those things were fleeting and didn't last when life changed.
Never more to sail my ship, where no man has gone before
I won't pursue those same goals again, even if they were unique or challenging.
And I will go sailing no more
I have come to terms with my new reality and have moved on from my old dreams.
But no, it can't be true I could fly if I wanted to
However, there is still a part of me that wants to believe I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it.
Like a bird in the sky if I believe I can fly, why I'd fly
If I had the right mindset, I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.
Clearly, I will go sailing, no more
Despite these fleeting moments of hope, I have accepted my reality and will not pursue my old goals and dreams anymore.
