I went one day
'Cross the sea
To that new world
Waiting for me
There I found
From heav'n above
A girl I could only
Dream of
I went to her
Hiding a smile
Asking her if I could
Stay a while
And she said
"Oh sir I wish you well
I wish you all that dreams
Could not foretell
Oh Sir I hope you know
I wish you knew
What can long ago;
From parents and their babe child
A song of hope
So meek and mild"
I came back
From cross the sea
Took my heart
And took my leave
Tried to find
A truth untold
Looking back on
Hist'ries old
I remember that night
Bright as day
I remember
I was shown away
How she said:
"Oh sir I wish you well
I wish you all that dreams
Could not foretell
Oh Sir I hope you know
I wish you knew
What can long ago;
From parents and their babe child
A song of hope
So meek and mild"
