We journeyed in peace across oceans wide [Pilgrim]
Pioneers and pilgrims with God at our side
Freedom to worship, horizons unfurled
All had their birth at this bold Brave New World

Harsh winter days made us question our faith
Prayed to the Lord that our lives would be saved
But as the snow melts and summer turns to fall
We offer thanksgiving and celebrate His call

I never thought the American dream [ Narrator]
would ever start this way
So far away, so far away
I never thought the American dream
would ever end this way
It’s so far away, so far away

Spirit of adventure took us far from home [Pilgrim]
Marked out the land and took it for our own
Slow but relentless the undue rights were claimed
Violent and bloody the native man was tamed

I never thought the American dream [ Narrator]
would ever start this way
So far away, so far away
I never thought the American dream
would ever end this way
It’s so far away, so far away

Came a cloud on the plain, thunder and rain, [Native American]
cracks in the sky
Water and blood in the dust, move on we must, or we will die
Grey Wolf, White Eagle must fly, into the sky
Far from home we have known since our times have begun

Sometimes when you’re far from home [Soldier Vietnam]
you fail to understand it all
You wrack your brain to make some sense
of how you came to make the call
In the absence of humanity when pain and hate is all you see
Its times like these you realise
the friend beside you now is all you have

Sometimes in the still of night [Soldier Iraq]
when darkness hides the smell of fear
Underneath your stubborn pride you turn your head and shed a tear
In the absence of integrity you thought the war would set them free
You curse the day the whole world changed
cos the friend beside you now is all you have

Cast your mind back long ago [White Man]
when people knew their rightful place
We fought to keep the order then
when we all knew the friendly face
When strangers come and change the plan
we have no choice but make a stand
We’ll fight to keep our nation free
with friends beside you now, it’s all you have

I see the world outside my window [Black Man]
I look around and I see which way the wind blows

Kill him, kill him [Mob]

I see the world around me turning [Black Man]
I feel the heat of fiery crosses as they’re burning

Kill him, kill him [Mob]

Oh, how can this be [Black Man]
when all those years we fought for freedom
I feel the wind of changes I see the angry faces round me

I have a dream about tomorrow [Activist]
When all my children will be saved from all their sorrows

Kill him, kill him [Mob]

Oh, how can this hatred just engulf me [Black Man]
There’s so much anger round me
I feel the wind of changes I see the angry faces
I feel the cold wind blowing, all a round me
Ah……

Woke up today and felt the cold winds blow [Evangelist]
Tearing up the gulf and where it ends we just don’t know
Paying the price for our greed, but for what gain
Better repent all your sins ‘cos we’re going to Hell just the same

And if you think this land has lost its will to dream [ Narrator]
I see the wonder,
I see the wonder

Just look again and you will see a different scene
I see the wonder,
I see the wonder

Out of adversity a little seed is sown
I see the wonder
I see the wonder

Just raise your head and you will see the tree has grown
I see the wonder
I see the wonder of it all

And if you feel that all this hurt is here to stay
I see the wonder
I see the wonder

Just look around and you will see a bright new day
I see the wonder
I see the wonder of it all

Throughout our history as man has fought with man
I see the wonder
I see the wonder

Deep down inside we’ve all been brothers all along
I see the wonder
I see the wonder of it all
