If Ships Were Made to Sail Lyrics

If ships were made to sail
Out through the star clouds
There’d be a world somewhere
All green and fair
If I could go to Alpha Centauri
Then I would be a living there

If I could ball up the long night, reach the time gone
And touch infinity
I'd find a forest hill
And clean fresh air
If I could go to Alpha Centauri
Then I would be a living there

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
