Long Journey Home

If on every ocean the ship is a throne

And for each mast cut down

Another sapling is grown

Then I could believe that I'm bound to find

A better life than I left behind

But as you ascend the ladder look out below where you tread

For the colours bled as they overflowed

Red, white and blue, green, white and gold

So I had to leave from my country of birth as for each child grown tall

Another lies in the earth and for every rail we laid in the loam

There's a thousand miles of the long journey home

But as you ascend the ladder look out below where you tread

For the colours bled as they overflowed

Red, white and blue, green, white and gold

But as you ascend the ladder look out below where you tread

For the colours bled as they overflowed

Red, white and blue, green, white and gold

Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
