Lyrics

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

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
