I remember when I was maybe eight years old
Playing pirate in a box from the side of the road
Charting the seas unknown
The wind would leave my sails near half past five
I'm the hero of the story up to suppertime
When Mama called me inside
I'll be back when I close my eyes
Dreaming, make believing through the night
Yo ho!
Hoist the anchor and raise the sail
Yo ho!
Break the compass and blaze our trail
Yo ho!
There ain't no rules in the great unknown
Yo ho!
We're out like pirates trying to find our gold
Everybody's a dreamer or wannabe
I'm just looking for the kid who turned into me
To be or not to be
I'll be back when I close my eyes
Dreaming, make believing through the night
Yo ho!
Hoist the anchor and raise the sail
Yo ho!
Break the compass and blaze our trail
Yo ho!
There ain't no rules in the great unknown
Yo ho!
We're out like pirates trying to find our gold
When did my days lose their wonder
When did the box take on water
When did I trade that child for a normal life?
What if I break down these borders
Let the child give the orders
Rewrite the story that was always mine
I'll be back when I close my eyes
Dreaming, make believing through the night
I'll be there when I close my eyes
Dreaming, make believing my whole life
Yo ho!
Hoist the anchor and raise the sail
Yo ho!
Break the compass and blaze our trail
Yo ho!
There ain't no rules in the great unknown
Yo ho!
We're out like pirates trying to find our gold
