Have you stood by the ocean
on a diamond -hard mornin'
And felt the horizon stir deep
Watched the wake of a steamer
as it cut through blue water
To throw off the shackles,
To where green waves tumble
on a warm summer ev 'nin'
Watch the red sun fall burnin'
To every sailor comes time
Holdin' the sails and make the lines fast
You're safe in the harbour at last
Safe in the harbour at last
but most are just dreamers
They forge in their minds, in their hearts
No, they'll never sail over deep water
They're afraid they won't find
They cling to their anchors
And they wait for the sailors
to return with their treasures
That will fan the dull embers
All in the sails and make the lines fast,
You're safe in the harbour at last,
Safe in the harbour at last.
who laugh at the dreamers,
take the gold from the sailors
They are men in a prison,
they are men without vision,
whose only horizon is profit
come sailing across your blue ocean,
Hold fast to your dreamin'
for all that you're worth.
For as long as there's dreamers,
there will always be sailors,
Bringing back their bright treasures
To every sailor comes time
Haul in the sails and make the lines fast,
You're safe in the harbour at last.
Safe in the harbor at last
Safe in the harbor at last you
