Lyrics
There's a wind that blows
Refers to a consistent wind blowing
On the southern sea
This wind is associated with the southern sea
And it whirls around
Describes the swirling sensation within oneself
Deep inside of me
Expresses an internal feeling or emotion
Always bringing me up
The wind metaphorically elevates the singer
Never letting me down
Highlights the consistent positive influence
I had a dream I was on my way
The dream of heading towards Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados
To Bridgetown
Specifically mentions Bridgetown as a destination
I've seen ships that sail
Observation of ships sailing regularly
Each and every day
Frequency of ship sightings
And when they start up their engines
Ships' actions emotionally affect the singer
They steal my heart away
The ships' movements resonate with the singer's emotions
Barbados
Direct mention of Barbados
I'm another one born to run
Relating oneself to being a person inclined to travel or move
Barbados
Expressing desire for another experience in Barbados
I need another sweet taste of rum
Craving for another taste of rum, a reference to enjoyment
I been sailing on this raging sea
Metaphorically sailing through life's challenges
The higher the venture
Greater challenges lead to personal growth
The better I'll be
Emphasizing personal development through challenging experiences
Barbados
Reiteration of the song's title, Barbados
