S.A.T.O
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest found the best
Stormy day won't see me sinking

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Dare to look face the test on the eve
When you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold seek the gold
Gold that's brighter than the sunlight
Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising





Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below is this voyage coming to an end

Now I'll find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest, found the best
Stormy day won't see me sinking

I can't conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Dare to look, face the test
On the eve when you set sailing
What you've learned, what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing

I can't conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Wind is high, so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold, seek the gold
Gold that's brighter than the sunlight
Sail away, see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's in sight, shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising

Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below
Is this voyage coming to an end?

Makes you wonder how the hell you can create two albums in such short time.
Blizzard Of Oz, And this masterpiece. I always thought the songs were very
short, and done in a hurried fashion. But than you see Ozzy's former band with
Dio at the helm, and you understand exactly why this album was pushed. The
media did not help any with the magazines stating what band ruled. The Mob Rules
was one hellava album, but in the end, one was not going to pass up seeing Randy
Rhoads kicking out the incredible sound live at an Ozzy concert. Probably the
only other guitarist who could outplay EVH. I don't think one could copy the other's
style, or sound for that matter. That is how great they were, and worlds apart, but
with equal talent. In the end they both sold millions of record albums
