Letra de Rocket to the moon

Here hangs an open landscape A wild and huge frontier From a harsh and a barren wasteland Through the grave to the promised field You came, you trapped, you charted You laid the railroads and the schemes And you tamed this land by enterprise And by the power of your dreams But you made this Clan great And you made this nation bloom And you rose With your people through the new world Like a rocket to the moon From the olden coasts of Ireland From the Hebridean shores With the forgotten chosen ones Running from Europe in droves (Chorus) There's a town in Manitoba They say the windows touch the sky But across the brine the shipyards close In this garden flowers die Still the homelands divide us Like your blood red brothers of the plains But where they grieve a candle still burns A prayer from a flicker to a flame (Chorus)
