Across the moonlit land

The night is shifting fast

We must be there before the breaking dawn

There is no time at hand

To seek respite in rest

We must be there before the day is born

Upon a lonely shore

My lover waits for me

We must be there before the night is gone

Apart we’ll be no more

My lover will be free

Speed on little lady, speed on

Speed on little lady, speed on

Towards the dawn, towards the sun

Speed on little lady, speed on

Then you shall rest, your journey done

Then we will sail away

To a land across the sea

Where freedom is valued more than gold

We will know a better day

Hearts and minds will be free

To dream, and see all our dreams unfold
