[00:14.19]Leaving my life behind
[00:17.35]My young love and the unborn
[00:20.58]Only have a lock of her hair
[00:24.16]and burning love inside
[00:27.02]After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
[00:31.38]the sails are lit by the lights of Boston
[00:37.52]and here we go
[00:39.35]Off the ship! Towards the adventure,
[00:42.85]the one to define our lives.
[00:46.22]Daily grind and a tiny room.
[00:50.16]"I got here safe, Love.
[00:52.53]I have an address, until spring, then I shall race for the land,
[00:58.17]hope to hear from you soon
[01:03.15]Her letter reads
[01:04.56]"Please let me know everything's alright
[01:10.89]Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight
[01:16.52]every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me.
[01:23.73]Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me.
[01:30.50]"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream.
[01:37.88]The best horse I've ever seen,
[01:40.81]a carriage and everything I need
[01:43.72]I will make my way to the great unknown
[01:47.33]Every moment I wish you were here with me now.
[01:54.13]"Please let me know everything's alright
[02:00.48]Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight
[02:06.10]every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me.
[02:13.28]Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me.
[02:20.15]"No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here.
[02:26.74]Yet I have never felt so alone.
[02:31.04]
[02:32.72]At high noon the sound will boom,
[02:36.11]and I will start racing for the land we can call home.
[02:46.07]I stuck myflag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting,
[02:49.30]I've never felt so proud, Love!
[02:51.74]We are free from eternal serfdom!
[02:54.77]I'm gonna bring you home, my light!
[02:58.12]Solos
[03:23.11]nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. SOLO!
[03:30.07]five, four, three, two, together forever! SOLO!
[03:34.54]
[03:36.50]I made my way into the great unknown
[03:39.66]Land by the river, and a new built home.
[03:42.88]I am the land and the land is me
[03:46.08]Freedom is everything and we are free
[03:49.31]I made my way into the great unknown
[03:52.48]Land by the river, and a new built home.
[03:55.62]Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising
[03:58.89]I hold you and know that we are free
