Rocking through the night
   All is silent...Southern Cross
   It's easy for me to write
   Even though I wonder...
   But I feel nothing seems lost
   We're still full of hope
   Although the trip is grinding
  
   What can I say
   Remember how we talked about
   A world that's free
   It may be hard to find
   The land where war and hatred ceased to be
   And the ship is sailing on across the ocean
  
   We said farewell to yesterday
   But in a year and one more day
   You'll read the headlines everywhere
   About the daring messengers
   Who found an island in the Sea
   Untouched by misery
  
   I'm wearing your bandanna
   Your picture's in my mind
   Well concealed
   And the vision of your face
   Is never far away no no
   It's always with me
   So your smile is my companian
   Till I'm back with you again
  
   We said farewell to yesterday
   But in a year and one more day
   You'll raed the news throughout the land
   About some new-age emigrants
   Who found an island in the Sea
   Untouched by misery
