|
Leaving my life behind |
|
My young love and the unborn |
|
Only have a lock of her hair |
|
and burning love inside |
|
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights, |
|
the sails are lit by the lights of Boston |
|
and here we go |
|
Off the ship! Towards the adventure, |
|
the one to define our lives. |
|
Daily grind and a tiny room. |
|
\"I got here safe, Love. |
|
I have an address, until spring, then I shall race for the land, |
|
hope to hear from you soon\" |
|
Her letter reads: |
|
\"Please let me know everything's alright |
|
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight |
|
every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me. |
|
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me\" |
|
\"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream. |
|
The best horse I've ever seen, |
|
a carriage and everything I need... |
|
I will make my way to the great unknown |
|
Every moment I wish you were here with me now. |
|
\"Please let me know everything's alright |
|
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight |
|
every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me. |
|
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me\" |
|
\"No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here... |
|
Yet I have never felt so alone. |
|
At high noon the sound will boom, |
|
and I will start racing for the |
|
land we can call home.\" |
|
\"I stuck my, |
|
flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting, |
|
I've never felt so proud, Love! |
|
We are free from eternal serfdom! |
|
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!\" |
|
\"nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. SOLO!\" |
|
\"five, four, three, two, together forever! SOLO!\" |
|
I made my way into the great unknown |
|
Land by the river, and a new built home. |
|
I am the land and the land is me |
|
Freedom is everything and we are free |
|
I made my way into the great unknown |
|
Land by the river, and a new built home. |
|
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising |
|
I hold you and know that we are free... |
