I Will Go Sailing No More

playing the music below will help in understanding the post below

For the past few days, i've been downloading various soundtracks from disney movies. the songs brought back old memories from when i was just a lil' boy whose only source of music is from movies. back during my younger days, i always listen to songs from movies such as The Lion King, Toy Story, Mulan, Goofy The Movie and etcs. i grew up admiring the courage of Simba, the confidence of Buzz Lightyear, and lots of other disney characters. That is when i thought i am someone who is destined for greatness and will never do any mistakes, who will change the course of the world politics, whose name will be always remembered by the people... but that all was like 10 years ago, when i was an ambitious and enthusiast young boy... as i grow older, i slowly let go of that beautiful dreams of mine, one by one, until today, i've became sumone completely different from what i really hoped from the start...

Out among the stars I sail,
Way beyond the moon.
In my silver ship I sail,
A dream that ended too soon.
Now I know exactly who I am
And what I'm here for.
And I will go sailing no more.

All the things I thought I'd be,
All the brave things I've done.
Vanish like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun.
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before.
And I will go sailing no more.

No, it can't be true!
I could fly if I wanted to!
Like a bird in the sky,
If I believed I could fly,
Well, I'd fly!...
Clearly I will go sailing no more...
