The Boatbuilders

	作曲 : Dougie MacLean
	作词 : Dougie MacLean
	I was there on the cold Assynt hills
	I heard the hunger cry and the tyrants laughing
	I heard the young men say goodbye to the place where their young dreams were grown

	There's a land somewhere where we can build our freedom
	There's a land somewhere where our children will grow strong
	And if our lives should be spared oh we'll need no other reason to sail on, to sail on

	On I stood on the shores at St Anne
	And watched them building boats to trade the oceans
	And saw the preacher raise his hand saying children it's time to move on

	Oh I watched from the white Waipu sands
	Saw them drop their sails and throw their anchors
	Saw the old men shake each other's hand saying brothers now I think we are home
