Sail away young woman Take your island with you Take its truth and its gentile breeze Take the love your sandy days provided Sail into the calm and stormy seas Be yourself When you get angry Don’t let hatred take the wheel There are pirates dressed as holy men It’s your soul they want to steal Carry freedom Like a suffrage banner Carry kindness like a sword Carry the wild wind inside you Take your love to every shore Brave your wings To hug all those around you Leave your goodness on every windowpane Take all your mothers and sisters with you They will guide you through the rain They will guide you through the rain Sail away Sail away Sail away
