| He crossed the sea when he was 14
|
| Just coins in a pocket and a place to sleep
|
| Nothing but his hopes and dreams
|
| And a whole lot ahead of him!
|
| He found some work on the hull
|
| Send money home when he could
|
| He said he won’t be here too long
|
| One day soon he’ll return!
|
| Days turn into months turn into years
|
| People come and and go but your still here
|
| You still dream of going home some day
|
| One day you’ll spread your wings and fly away!
|
| He saw the sights of london town
|
| With a wave at his back and a shovel in hand
|
| Earning money here and there
|
| But never enough for a boat fare!
|
| He settled down and found a wife
|
| Before you know it, kids arrived
|
| They grew up quick and so did he
|
| Now going home is just a dream!
|
| Days turn into months turn into years
|
| People come and and go but your still here
|
| You still dream of going home some day
|
| One day you’ll spread your wings and fly away! |
