So, here's to the people, a long way they come The emigrant races from merciless places are run
They don't believe what government said They don't like to wait until they're dead For thousands of reasons many have fled From animosity and bloodsheed
Fathers and mothers young and old Children and grannies along they strolled You don't know the stories they were told Of the land they will behold
You don't believe what government said Do you like to wait until you're dead For thousands of reasons many have fled From animosity and bloodsheed
