Thousands are sailing
again, across the ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
draws tickets in a lottery
Postcards we're mailing
of sky-blue skies and oceans
from rooms that daylight never sees,
where lights don't glow on christmas trees.
Still we dance to the music, and we dance...
Thousands are sailing
across the western ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
draws tickets in a lottery
Where e'er we go, we celebrate
the land that makes us refugees
From fear of Priests with empty plates
From guilt, and weeping effigies...
STILL we dance to the music, and we dance...
