Here hangs an open landscapeA wild and huge frontierFrom a harsh and barren wastelandThrough the grave and to the promised fieldYou came, you trapped, you chartedYou bed the railroads and the schemesAnd you tamed this land by enterpriseAnd by the power of your dreamsFrom the olden coasts of Ireland and the Hebridean shoresWith the forgotten chosen onesRunning from Europe in drovesOh there's a town in ManitobaThey say the windows touch the skyBut across the brine the shipyards closeBut in this garden flowers dieAnd still the homelands divide usLike your blood red brothers of the plainsBut where they grieve a candle still burnsI pray from a flicker to a flameBut you made this Clan greatAnd you made this nation bloomAnd you roseWith your people through the new worldLike a rocket to the moon
