Flag In The Ground

Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside

After forty work filled days and sleepless nights
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston
And here we go

Off the ship
Towards the adventure
The one to define our lives
Daily grind and a tiny room

I got here safe, Love
I have an address, until spring
Then I shall race for the land
Hope to hear from you soon
Her letter reads

Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me

Now that I have made
The dollars we need for the dream
The best horse I've ever seen
A carriage and everything I need
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment I wish you were here with me now

Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me

No, I'm not a stranger among the people in here
Yet I have never felt so alone
At high noon the sound will boom, and
I will start racing for the land we can call home

I stuck my flag in the ground, screamin and shoutin
I've never felt so proud, Love
We are free from eternal serfdom
I'm gonna bring you home, my light

Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days, solo
Five, four, three, two, together forever, solo

I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free

I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free
