Lyrics[]

Who cares if my boat goes upstream?
Or if the gale bids me go
With the river's flow?

I drift along with my fancy
Sometimes I thank my lucky stars
My heart is free
And other times I wonder,
Where's the mate for me?

The driftwood floating over the sea
Someday finds a sheltering lea
So, somewhere there surely must be
A harbor meant for me

I drift along with my fancy
Sometimes I thank my lucky stars
My heart is free
And other times I wonder,
Where's the mate for me?
