Land of Opportunity Lyrics


I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
Just like in a movie scene.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again.

I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.

I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
And it ruined my holiday.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
I felt like a kid again.
I want you to know, I had to let go
I'm falling in love again.

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

I'm sailing away to a Land of Opportunity.

Land of Opportunity
  • A Great Big World had a falling out with a friend around the time they wrote this song, which was inspired by the music they were listening at the time -The Beatles' Abbey Road album and ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky."
  • The trumpet solo is played by A Great Big World's Chad Vaccarino - he had just started playing the instrument again.
