We came here on his back
And we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry
The rockin' of his house
Had me holdin' on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out
And the waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the furrows on his skin
Oh, how time goes fast
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
After every sunny day
Came a stormy night
That's when Finner would say
"Keep your heads held high"
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
