Many of us are migrants, a fact which connects us in our diversity.
lyrics
Let the moon and the stars be my beacon as I stand on the brink of the ocean
Another one apart just like all who came before
Though their faces were set, their ways taciturn, never say they did not yearn
For a dear one left behind. I come from that long line.
Not exactly kin but surely the same kind
When all is said and done we are one
Didn’t those starving people cross the frozen Bering Sea
And the ones from Europe head for Amerikie
And the Scots and the Irish make a new life far from remembered hills
And the waka in the great Pacific, the sun the moon the stars to guide it
A new life waiting beckoning a sail’s billow, a paddle stroke
Just one more step, a puff of smoke away
Snatches of letters, treasured photographs
Stories in the artefacts, glimpses in time
So let the moon and stars be my beacon as I stand
Another one apart just like all who came before
