Long Journey Home Lyrics - The Wide World Over: A 40 Year Celebration - The Chieftains

If on every ocean the ship is a throne 

And for each mast cut down another sapling is grown 

Then I could believe that I'm bound to find 

A better life than I left behind 

 

But as you ascend the ladder 

Look out below where you tread 

For the colors bled as they overflowed 

Red, white and blue 

Green, white and gold 

 

So I had to leave from my country of birth 

As for each child grown tall 

Another lies in the earth 

And for every rail we laid in the loam 

There's a thousand miles of the long journey home 

 

But as you ascend the ladder 

Look out below where you tread 

For the colors bled as they overflowed 

Red, white and blue 

Green, white and gold
