Raymie Wilson - Homeland (Discovery) Lyrics

We sailed away through a misty haze
On the day we left our homeland
All the people there they just stood and stared
As tears filled their eyes
The sun filled the sky
We were going
We're going away from this place
Away from the crowd always rushing around
I could hear the bells ring but my heart was just sinking
On the day we left our homeland
On the day we left our homeland
Four months and three days we sailed the wild seas
Til we finally caught sight of some land
The Captain said, boys - I need volunteers
To go out and see what you find
Hand up like a flash, never needed to ask
Jumped in that boat and rowed to the shore
I was cold, wet and scared when we got there
The place to be our new homeland
To claim this place as our own land
We walked and we climbed
Early morning til night
Charting the ground as we'd go
Losing sight of the ship was the least of our fears
As it sat in the bay down below
Sails rolled and stowed
Then a storm whipped up
From out of the blue
Threw her onto the rocks and broke her in two
All hands were lost
All those lives - what's the cost
Of getting us to this new land
This place we now called our homeland
