Lyrics

Verse 1

We sailed into port on a hot afternoon

I felt we had been back and fore to the moon

Salt in my eyes and salt in my throat

I’ve never been so glad to get off a boat

Verse 2

Rapped up in hope and quite a bit of luck

I looked up at fortune and then a thought struck

I’m a stranger in this land but I feel so at home

From my head to my feet and every bone

Chorus

To realise my every dream I’ve had

Realise the choice of good and bad

I may be a stranger in this distant land

But I feel so at home with my brother Galahad

Middle 8

I feel such an old man at age of twenty two

I’ve seen so much hardship with so much to do

I pull myself up with an invisible hand

This is my home. This is my land

Verse 3

The crowd surged forward in the afternoon sun

A voice shouted walk and please don’t run

And then I saw someone raise a gun

It chilled the spine, I’m sure, in everyone.

Verse 4

I closed my eyes for a moment or two

The crowd surged forward. They stepped on my shoes

Crushed up together, I felt black and blue

The queue seemed so long but soon I was through.
