THE BOATBUILDERS
(Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean)
I was there on the cold Assynt hills
I heard the hunger cry the tyrants laughing
I heard the young men say goodbye
to the place where their young dreams were grown
CHORUS
There's a land somewhere where we can build our freedom
There's a land somewhere where our children will grow strong
And if our lives should be spared oh we'll need no other reason to sail on to
sail on
On I stood on the shores at St Anne
And watched them building boats to trade the oceans
And saw the preacher raise his hand
saying children it's time to move on
CHORUS
Oh I watched from the white Waipu sands
Saw them drop their sails and throw their anchors
Saw the old men shake each other's hand
saying brothers now I think we are home
CHORUS
