Celtic Woman - 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
