Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music I was there on the cold Assynt hills I heard the hunger cry and the tyrants laughing I heard the young men say goodbye to the place where their young dreams were grown CHORUS There's a land somewhere where we can build our freedom There's a land somewhere where our children will grow strong And if our lives should be spared oh we'll need no other reason to sail on, to sail on On I stood on the shores at St Anne And watched them building boats to trade the oceans And saw the preacher raise his hand saying children it's time to move on CHORUS Oh I watched from the white Waipu sands Saw them drop their sails and throw their anchors Saw the old men shake each other's hand saying brothers now I think we are home CHORUS
