STARS FLICKER, OUR FLIGHT



Stars flicker thru the high loft of clouds,

Beckon us onward, as this is our journey,
Across plains we have traveled,
From far distant shores,
We emigrants to a new land,
Far from Erin’s mighty shore,
Sailors of water, as we sailors of land,
With gusts of wind at every command,
Point our schooners tongue to the Northern Star,
Which we spot, with effort   this night. 

With banjos and fiddles,

Our few musicians  gather,
A reel or a jig, the children’s laughter,
We see, thru the nights light,
Ensure us that hope is forever Spring,
We fall to the demand of sleep,
And await the first call of morning light,
To travel westward, to a new home,
This is the demand our flight…
