"Sailing" is a song of joy. It expresses the pure joy of being alive on a "ship with many sails," as we sail through our lives. It was written in 1988 and released in 1991 on my first cassette tape called "The Other Side." I've performed it many times since! I'm happy to share this new version with Tyrrell Sweetman's gorgeous cello line and Wisteria Braveheart's sumptuous backup harmonies. "Sailing" was engineered and mastered by Brian Castillo in the Waterwitch Cathedral. Thanks also to Jordan Hughes for production wisdom and loving encouragement.

lyrics

Oh let's go sailing
On a ship with many sails
We'll ride the coral beaches
We'll sing beside the whales

And I feel like I've known you forever
As I look at the circles
Written in the sea and the sand

Oh let's go sailing
On a ship with many sails
We'll ride the coral beaches
We'll sing beside the whales

And the day it is clear, it is holy
And my body wants to dance
And my spirit wants to sing all day

Oh let's go sailing
On a ship with many sails
We'll ride the coral beaches
We'll sing beside the whales

And the waves pull back and forth
Their rocking heals me
And I feel like the seagulls
Riding the queens of the foam

Oh let's go sailing
On a ship with many sails
We'll ride the coral beaches
We'll sing beside the whales

about

Elizabeth Hummel Olympia, Washington

I have been writing songs most of my life. A good bit of recording and performing too. Money comes and goes, but the muse is precious and timeless. I pray that my songs help people through darkness as well as celebrate the light. This music is a village and I am not alone. I am deeply grateful to the many people who have helped me birth these songs in so many ways. You are the Love! ... more
