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
And 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
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
'Cause 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
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
To the moon
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
And 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
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
Ooh-ho-oh-ho-oh
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
'Cause 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
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
To the moon
