Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way My way on through the wind Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way to Places I never have been
Gonna wave to the curious people (note 1) Looking on from the side of The road as I'm rolling on by Wave goodbye to the trouble That's always on my mind Gonna jumpstart my life Or go down trying
Gonna wave to the memories I carry in my heart and the New ones I'll find along my way To the new millennium Reeling round the bend like A dove or some dark-winged bird of prey
Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way My way on through the wind Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way to the Edge of the world and jump in
Gonna snap like a rippling banner (note 2) Sailing sheets to the breeze over Cloudy oceans to the moon (note 3) I could hold out forever Keeping it together Or wish upon a star and call the tune
Lift my voice like the young man (note 4) Broken in the war who Cries out to know the reason why (note 5) Gonna stand and deliver (note 6) A passionate song to the High wide and handsome morning sky
Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way My way on through the wind Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave while the wind Plays the stars, the sky, the Moon and the night like a hymn
Gonna ride with the rolling thunder (note 7) Let the sky crack assunder As lightning cries out of the rain Gonna wade across rivers Gathered in the stream from the Mountains that rise above the plain
Wave away my confusion That drives this delusion (note 8) So long I forgot that I could fly Soar aloft like a songbird Dancing in the wind Singing long, singing loud, singing high
Gonna wave, gonna wave Gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way My way on through the wind Gonna speak to the breeze Add my voice to the wind Singing: say, can you see By the dawn's early light streaming in?
