Where The Ocean Ends We'll Find A New - Born Land Lyrics - Dan Mccafferty

Little johnny he was a rock 'n' roll star from tuscon, arizona 

And a wizard with the figures was mister b. 

Ran a computer company 

And harry he was a tough marine 

Who never fought a war 

And I was the clown who dreamt a dream 

Playing the guitar 

So here we are 

We've come so far 

No longer pawns or stooges in the big game 

We're aiming high 

Reaching for the sky 

Where the ocean ends 

We'll find a new-born land 

For everyone like you and i 

We were bankers we were bosses 

We were beggars and bums 

Martyrs and millionaires 

We were teachers we were preachers 

Falling angels and monks 

Gamblers and legionaires 

We were winners and loosers 

Magicians and boozers 

Sad eyed fools that meant no harm 

And I was a clown who dreamed his dream 

Playing the guitar 

So here we are 

We've come so far 

No longer pawns or puppets in the rat race 

We're aiming high 

Reaching for the sky 

Where the ocean ends 

We'll find a new-born land 

For everyone like you and i 

So here we are 

We've come so far 

No longer pawns or stooges in the big game 

We're aiming high 

Reaching for the sky 

Where the ocean ends 

We'll find a new-born land 

For everyone like you and i 

March, 8, 1990: two months later.. a group of islands appeared at the 

Horizon...only a few days to go? ...maybe...and under a dark-blue sky 

In the southern pacific they were sitting together for the last time...
