| [00:10.53] |
Over an ocean and over a sea |
| [00:15.12] |
Beyond these great waters, oh what do I see? |
| [00:20.52] |
I see the great mountains |
| [00:24.27] |
climb from the coastline |
| [00:26.39] |
The hills of Cape Breton, this new home of mine |
| [00:32.67] |
Oh they come from the countries all over the world |
| [00:37.55] |
To hack at the forest, to plow the land down |
| [00:42.83] |
Fishermen, farmers and sailors all come |
| [00:47.99] |
To clear for the future this pioneer ground |
| [00:52.76] |
|
| [00:52.96] |
We are an island, a rock in a stream |
| [00:57.74] |
We are a people as proud as there\'s been |
| [01:02.61] |
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds |
| [01:07.67] |
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton |
| [01:12.65] |
|
| [01:23.11] |
Over the rooftops and over the trees |
| [01:27.87] |
Within these new townships, oh what do I see? |
| [01:33.98] |
I see the black pitheads, the coal-wheels are turning |
| [01:39.06] |
The smokestacks are belching and the blast furnace burning |
| [01:45.22] |
Oh the sweat on the back is no joy to behold |
| [01:50.22] |
In the heat of the steel plant or mining the coal |
| [01:55.01] |
And the foreign-owned companies |
| [01:57.94] |
force us to fight |
| [02:00.42] |
For our survival and for our rights |
| [02:04.69] |
|
| [02:05.52] |
We are an island, a rock in a stream |
| [02:10.32] |
We are a people as proud as there\'s been |
| [02:15.07] |
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds |
| [02:20.33] |
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton |
| [02:25.41] |
|
| [02:36.02] |
Over the highways and over the roads |
| [02:41.60] |
Over the causeway, stories are told |
| [02:46.89] |
They tell of the coming and the going away |
| [02:52.88] |
The cities of America draw me away |
| [02:59.06] |
Ah the companies come, the companies go |
| [03:04.11] |
And the ways of the world we may never know |
| [03:08.71] |
We\'ll follow the footsteps of those on their way |
| [03:13.65] |
And we\'ll ask for the right to leave or to stay |
| [03:19.02] |
|
| [03:19.42] |
We are an island, a rock in a stream |
| [03:24.04] |
We are a people as proud as there\'s been |
| [03:28.82] |
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds |
| [03:34.10] |
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton |
| [03:38.62] |
|
| [03:39.16] |
We are an island, a rock in a stream |
| [03:44.07] |
We are a people as proud as there\'s been |
| [03:48.83] |
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds |
| [03:54.03] |
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton |
| [03:59.24] |
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton |
| [04:09.64] |
|
| [04:10.20] |
