Lyrics


+ Maymorning (single edit)
I'm alive again on a Maymorning
Go to wipe the slate clean follow my dreams
All the yearning buds are here again
With the promise of a new life to come
Spring is here again

The sun is melting over the hills
All our roads are waiting to be revealed
For this day in history has brought us to here
Now it's all there for the taking
The day is what you see

The light's returning, the work is in hand
All the cynics have vanished from where we stand
All the chances wasted are drawing me near
And all around there's new life rising
From the winter fields

I'm alive again, I'm alive again
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive again
I'm alive again

+ Rocket to the Moon (live)
Here hangs an open landscape
A wild and huge frontier
A harsh and a barren wasteland
Through the grave to the promised field

[And you made this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose with your people to the new world
Like a rocket to the moon]

You came, you trapped, you charted
You built the railroads and the schemes
And you tamed this land by enterprise
And by the power of your dreams

[Refrain]

From the olden coasts of Ireland
And the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves

[Refrain]

There's a town in Nova Scotia
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
Cos' in this garden flowers die

And still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame

[Refrain]

+ Maymorning
I'm alive again on a Maymorning
Go to wipe the slate clean follow my dreams
All the yearning buds are here again
With the promise of a new life to come
Spring is here again

The sun is melting over the hills
All our roads are waiting to be revealed
For this day in history has brought us to here
Now it's all there for the taking
The day is what you see

The light's returning, the work is in hand
All the cynics have vanished from where we stand
All the chances wasted are drawing me near
And all around there's new life rising
From the winter fields

I'm alive again, I'm alive again
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive again
I'm alive again
