We said goodbye, on shores so far away

And I promised you, that I’d be back someday

With my fortune made, I’d ask you for your hand

And I’d build our home, on a lovely piece of land

But the sea is rough, and it cares not for my plans

And its friend the wind, takes the ship where it demands

And we met with ice, and it holds us tight and fast

And the able crew, cannot get us passed

I hold my breath

I feel my soul

I hear the music

of my home

I hear bird song

I feel strong winds

I see shadows on the lands

I see springtime

I hear laughter

I feel the softness of your hands

I will not think of what lies beyond

I have you and I have home

I hear bird song

I hear your voice

And I will not die alone

Now I’m stranded, on this ship so far from you

And the ice is strong, it will tear this ship in two

It’s now just a wooden box, with water near the beams

Just a sodden tomb, a ship of broken dreams

I hold my breath

I feel my soul

I hear the music

of my home

And I hear bird song

I see green hills

I see lightening cross the sky

I see your smile

I feel your touch

Brush the hair out of your eyes

I do not think of the great beyond

I think of you, I think off home

I hear bird song

I hear your voice

And I will not die alone

The captain says, that perhaps we all should pray

For a miracle, before the break of day

And a ship is seen, and it comes to our rescue

I thank our lucky stars, I will return to you

I hold my breath

I feel my soul

I hear the music

of my home

I hear bird song

I feel hard rain

I feel smooth bark on the trees

I see your eyes

I feel your arms

Your love is around me

I do not fear what lies beyond

I have you and I have home

We’ll have birdsong, we’ll have sunshine

And we’ll never be alone

We’ll have bird song

We’ll have family

We’ll have love

And we’ll have home
