Lyrics:
Well, it's not far down to paradise,At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right,You can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles,Just you wait and see,Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right,You can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, Just you wait and see,Believe me
Sailing takes me away,To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me,And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me,When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie,Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me,Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be,Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free,Well it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me,And if the wind is right
you can sail away and find serenity,Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see,Believe me, Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be, Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

"Ride Like The Wind" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released in February 1980 as the lead single from his Grammy-winning self-titled debut album. It reached number 2 on the U.S. charts, behind Blondie's "Call Me." On the album's inner sleeve, Christopher Cross dedicated this song to Lowell George, formerly of the band Little Feat, who had died in 1979. It features backing vocals by Michael McDonald and a guitar solo by Cross.
According to an interview by Guitar 2001 Magazine, guitarist Eric Johnson performed on "Ride Like the Wind," but his contributions were not included in the final version.[citation needed]
This soft rock classic tells the story of a condemned man on the run to Mexico. The storyline is one not often heard on adult contemporary radio, but the precise instrumentation and soaring background vocals, which were provided by Michael McDonald, helped make the song a big hit.
The story told in the lyrics, according to Cross himself, is "sort of a romanticized Western where the bad guy gets away." Told from a first-person point of view, it describes how an outlaw and convicted multiple murderer, on the run from a death-by-hanging sentence, has to "ride like the wind" to reach "the border of Mexico," where, presumably, the posse apparently in pursuit of him will not be able to reach him. Cross is Texan, and the narrator, presumably, drew his death-by-hanging sentence from a criminal court in Texas, where hanging was then a permissible method of execution of convicted criminals who had been sentenced to death.
Christopher Cross was on acid when he wrote the lyrics. "We were living in Houston at the time, and on the way down to Austin to record the songs, it was just a beautiful Texas day," he told us. "I took acid. So I wrote the words on the way down from Houston to Austin on acid."

Christopher Cross (born Christopher Charles Geppert; May 3, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter from San Antonio, Texas. His debut album earned him five Grammys. He is perhaps best known for his US Top Ten hit songs, "Sailing", "Ride Like the Wind", and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)", the last of which he recorded for the film Arthur starring Dudley Moore. "Sailing" earned three Grammy Awards in 1981, while "Arthur's Theme" won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen).
Cross first played with a San Antonio-based cover band named Flash (not to be confused with the early 1970s English band of the same name) before signing a solo contract with Warner Bros.
Cross released his self-titled debut album, Christopher Cross, in 1979, which garnered him five Grammy Awards. He was the first solo artist to win all four General Field Grammy Awards (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist) in the same year. Hot 100 top 20 hits from this album included "Ride Like the Wind" (featuring backing vocals by Michael McDonald), "Sailing", "Never Be the Same", and "Say You'll Be Mine" (featuring backing vocals by Nicolette Larson).

Christopher Cross filled in for guitarist Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple (who had fallen ill) by performing with the band in San Antonio, Texas in 1970
also contributed backing vocals (along with The Beach Boys' Carl Wilson) to David Lee Roth's 1985 hit "California Girls"
Christopher Cross performed the song "Sailing" alongside the pop band 'N Sync at the Fifth Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards in 1999.
He also performed lead vocals on "So Far Away", a song from Alan Parsons' album On Air. When Parsons was touring in support of that album, Cross would sometimes join the band onstage to sing the song if he was available.
A small snippet of Cross's early hit "Sailing" was played in the DreamWorks film "Flushed Away"
"Sailing" is a number-one single, released in July 1980, The song was a phenomenal success, winning Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Arrangement of the Year, and helping Cross win the Best New Artist award. VH1 named this the greatest "softsational soft rock" music song of all time.
It was a number-one rated single in the United States. Since its debut, it has been covered by many artists, including Avant, Barry Manilow, Big Bub, 'N Sync, Phajja, and Patrick Yandall.
The Mexican airline AeroMéxico used the theme during the middle 1980s as a jingle for its advertisements; it was also used for the cigarette brand Winston.
Lyrics:
Well, it's not far down to paradise,At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right,You can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles,Just you wait and see,Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right,You can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, Just you wait and see,Believe me
Sailing takes me away,To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me,And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me,When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie,Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me,Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be,Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free,Well it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me,And if the wind is right
you can sail away and find serenity,Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see,Believe me, Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be, Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

"Ride Like The Wind" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released in February 1980 as the lead single from his Grammy-winning self-titled debut album. It reached number 2 on the U.S. charts, behind Blondie's "Call Me." On the album's inner sleeve, Christopher Cross dedicated this song to Lowell George, formerly of the band Little Feat, who had died in 1979. It features backing vocals by Michael McDonald and a guitar solo by Cross.
According to an interview by Guitar 2001 Magazine, guitarist Eric Johnson performed on "Ride Like the Wind," but his contributions were not included in the final version.[citation needed]
This soft rock classic tells the story of a condemned man on the run to Mexico. The storyline is one not often heard on adult contemporary radio, but the precise instrumentation and soaring background vocals, which were provided by Michael McDonald, helped make the song a big hit.
The story told in the lyrics, according to Cross himself, is "sort of a romanticized Western where the bad guy gets away." Told from a first-person point of view, it describes how an outlaw and convicted multiple murderer, on the run from a death-by-hanging sentence, has to "ride like the wind" to reach "the border of Mexico," where, presumably, the posse apparently in pursuit of him will not be able to reach him. Cross is Texan, and the narrator, presumably, drew his death-by-hanging sentence from a criminal court in Texas, where hanging was then a permissible method of execution of convicted criminals who had been sentenced to death.
Christopher Cross was on acid when he wrote the lyrics. "We were living in Houston at the time, and on the way down to Austin to record the songs, it was just a beautiful Texas day," he told us. "I took acid. So I wrote the words on the way down from Houston to Austin on acid."

It's Always Something
Tonight, I take my chance
Tonight, I make my own fate
Tonight, another statistic
Makes the gravest of mistakes
I wonder if they'll even notice when I'm gone
I wonder if they'll even care
Temptation, it taunts me
The urge for escape
The taste of cold steel on my lips
The rope around my neck
These bitter pills and razorblades seal my fate
Demons resolve me
Another voice whispers
This is not your choice
There is more to this if you hold on
Temptation it taunts me
The urge for escape
Hesitation means something
Am I stronger than this?
I choose to hold on
