Rocket to the Moon - Live

Lyrics

Here hangs an open landscape
 A wild and huge frontier
 From a harsh and a barren wasteland
 Through the grave to the promised field
 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
 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
 From the olden coasts of Ireland
 From the Hebridean shores
 With the forgotten chosen ones
 Running from Europe in droves
 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
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 There's a town in Manitoba
 They say the windows touch the sky
 But across the brine the shipyards close
 In this garden flowers die
 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
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
 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
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
