I want to go back to the time when we had nothing to rely on Oh, wide open sky, Tell me, where are we now? "What shall we tell the children who will be born in the future?” What shall we tell them? You, Protect those who you love With outstretched arms, Embrace your children One by one, Friends who understand you will come together One by one, one by one Row your white sails And sail away on your journey As long as our strength lasts, We'll row two or more Please give us that strength Please give us courage “Off Course” formed in 1967 and made its professional debut in 1970.
