Race To Freedom

This race to freedom starts and ends with glee Our feelings for each other staunch and keen We cycle cross the prairie fancy free Our goal to reach the port of Aberdeen Our feelings for each other staunch and keen No barriers appear to slow our flight Our goal to reach the port of Aberdeen With thund'ring hearts we race on through the night No barriers appear to slow our flight Unshackled joy as we behold the reef With thund'ring hearts we race on through the night The ship in port is ours, is our belief Unshackled joy as we behold the reef With tears of joy we know our goal is reached The ship in port is ours, is our belief The water from our tears flows to the beach With tears of joy we know our goal is reached Some day we'll tell our children of this tale The water from our tears flows to the beach We board the launch, make ready to set sail Some day we'll tell our children of this tale The day we fled from tyranny and fear We board the launch, make ready to set sail Was desp'rate times that brought our family here The day we fled from tyranny and fear Imprinting it upon our mem'ries while Was desp'rate times that brought our family here To live in peace on this most glorious isle Imprinting it upon our mem'ries while We cycle cross the prairie fancy free To live in peace on this most glorious isle This race to freedom starts and ends with glee
