Long Journey Home (Anthem) (from Long Journey Home)

If on every ocean the ship is a throne
 And for each mast cut down another sapling is grown
 Then I could believe that I'm bound to find
 A better life than I left behind
 But as you ascend the ladder
 Look out below where you tread
 For the colors bled as they overflowed
 Red, white and blue
 Green, white and gold
 So I had to leave from my country of birth
 As for each child grown tall
 Another lies in the earth
 And for every rail we laid in the loam
 There's a thousand miles of the long journey home
 But as you ascend the ladder
 Look out below where you tread
 For the colors bled as they overflowed
 Red, white and blue
 Green, white and gold
