Píseň: All Aboard For America

Reflections
Well the captain said, "Look out we're setting sail tonight"
And the harbour lights were dim on that dark and foggy night
And I thought I knew what we were doing
Heading for a place to start anew in
No turning back no opting out it's now or never


And the captain said, "We're off to far and distant shores"
And you turned and said to me, "If you want me boy I'm yours"
Well you took my hand and my heart was beating
As I thought of all that we were leaving
No turning back no opting out it's now or never


Chorus:
All aboard for America sail away to the land of the free
All aboard for America come away you can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
La, la, la, li, li, li


Well the food was running low and the water running dry
And the captain went below and I swear I heard him cry
"If we don't see land this time tomorrow
There'll be many die and so much sorrow
Too late for hope time's running out it's now or never"


Then the first mate's voice rang out and he shouted "Land ahoy!"
And a mighty cheer was heard from every woman, man and boy
And I saw the place of my salvation
And I set my face in determination
No turning back no opting out it's now or never


Chorus:
All aboard for America sail away to the land of the free
All aboard for America come away you can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
La, la, la, li, li, li ....
