The soil is hard and calloused hands Seek to heal the barren lands The apple trees of Eden gone, all gone Small mouths to feed, his cross to bear He begs the Lord to help him stand In his heart for all but gone A dream of sails, whipping wind Roaring waves to clense all sins The call of new horizons awaits Somewhere across the ocean wide We hold the promised land in sight Where we'll reap what we sow Somewhere across the sands of time We'll turn water into wine When hope abandons better know It's always darkest before the dawn She sees the pain inside his eyes How he holds his head up high Standing firm against the wind oh She knows they soon will take their leave Yet her heart forever will be Tied to the frozen ground within A breath of air, cold as ice The war inside is the price For the journey to the brand new world Somewhere across the ocean wide We hold the promised land inside Where we'll reap what we sow Somewhere across the sands of time We'll turn water into wine When hope abandons better know It's always darkest before the dawn Somewhere across the ocean wide We braved the storm side by side Out motherland we left behind Somehow across the ocean wide We've seen the turning of the tide Though hope had waned and spirits drawn It's always darkest before the dawn
