Ships in the making Bound for a distant shore World for the taking Men gone forever more Boarding and setting sail Yet victory won't prevail Oh, freeze the arrow in the air Make your mark and leave it hanging there Be the first to turn around Take the leap to land on higher ground Call in, surrender Still, I won't feel like defeat Men laying down their swords Each of their own accord Oh, freeze the arrow in the air Make your mark and leave it hanging there Be the first to turn around Take the leap to land on higher ground Raise the banner to the sky Face the fear and hold your head up high Oh, oh, oh, oh Take the leap like you were bound for higher ground Freeze the arrow in the air Make your mark and leave it hanging there Freeze the arrow in the air Make your mark and leave it hanging there Be the first to turn around Take the leap to land on higher ground Be the first to turn around Take the leap and land on higher ground
