Moke Emigration Song
There’s been a lot between us
Such a lot between us
And somehow the road ahead got closed
I left the home of a lifetime
And even now I’d have to walk the same line
Knowing the road ahead will close.
I wish I’d stayed when you asked me
But I was so young and carefree
Not knowing that the road ahead could close.
If only I could face my fear
Then you could wipe away the tear
That’s stayed so long on mother’s cheek
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away.
So i tried to move a mountain
So many now, that i’ve stopped counting
And always the road ahead is closed.
They tried to cover their traces
They lied to hide their faces
But someday their road ahead will close.
If only I could face my fear
Then you could wipe away the tear
That’s stayed so long on mother’s cheek
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away...
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away.........Repeat coup
1 & 2.
