The thin red line it was my life to fight for king and country

But Boney's gone, the job was done, old king George has no use for me

There were times we laughed and danced, life was good we loved our land

But now we starve in our back yard, the children die in their mothers' hand



We're sailing to America on a ship of dreams

Going to start a new life in the new world

We're sailing to America on a ship called "Destiny"

Gone to make our fortune where the land is free



This great land we fought across to build the mighty iron horse

The red man fought with bow and lance, he paid in blood for his savage arrogance



We're spreading 'cross America, build ourselves a dream

Come to make a new life in the new world

The vastness of America shapes our destiny

Here to make our fortune where the land is free



And skies will burn and hearts will break and tears will fall 

For these dreams we make

And fires will rage and hopes will fade

Through the wars we wage till the end of days



In a fortress called America shadows haunt our dreams

Poisoning the new life in the new world

Our wayward son America betrayed our destiny

Threw away good fortune, chained a land that's free

The land was free



White man came here long ago

He stole our land killed our buffalo

He made us clowns in his wild west show

Ghostdancers sing he must go
