A New Beginning
I'm standing here on this boat
Wondering how it cn float
I'm staring down at the sea
Which is filling me
With it's infinity
Everything has and end
As I am leaving Ireland
And my heart feels empty
As I leave my family
My friends and my country
But my eyes are dry
I will die before I cry
Because it's a new beginning
A new sun that is rising
On a trip that will last, an eternity
We are travelling very slowly
The deck is dancing under my feet
Following the waves' slow beat
And I start thinking
About where I'll be living
In Quebec, being Irish
Doesn't mean being rich
But I'm ready to fight
Or even work day and night
And if at least I find a home
Really happy I will become
Like this seagull flying over me
Sooner or later I will be free
