The wind is warm on the rocky shores of Normandy
Just another thousand steps and she'd be free
Sharpened knife to cut loose ends
Hold your breath and turn your head
Drunken boat alone upon an angry sea
All you good king's daughters come ashore
All you good king's daughters
Looked up through the wet snow to a wall of stone
Held her dress up carefully with legs so cold
Uniforms and ordered lines
Soldiers on a riverside
Making landfall quickly as the water flows
All you good king's daughters come ashore
All you good king's daughters
I believe the world is a better place now
Cut ties to everything we've ever known
I believe the world is a brighter place now
Cut ties
Searching for a place to call our home
Walking through the wet grass of this cemetery
Tilted stones of black and gray and twisted trees
Long ago the names were lost
Stolen by the wind and moss
Now the wildflowers grow so peacefully
All you good king's daughters come ashore
All you good king's daughters
I believe the world is a better place now
Cut ties to everything we've ever known
I believe the world is a better place now
Cut ties
Searching for a place to call our home
♪
From east to west, and north and south
Escaping famine, war and drought
Across the ocean voices call
Knock down the door for one and all
You good king's daughters come ashore
All you good
You good king's daughters
I believe the world is a better place now
Cut ties to everything we've ever known
I believe the world is a brighter place now
