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
