Long Journey Home Lyrics
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
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
For the colours bled as they overflowed
Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
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
For the colours bled as they overflowed
Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
For the colours bled as they overflowed
Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
