Now the shoreline lies before us
As our ship's bow ploughs into port
To a new land where new life
Fills the bewildered milling quayside
Where staring strangers are gathered there to greet us
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
Fate saved our souls as we braved
Roaring gales and sea-monsters' jaws
Which strove to swallow us whole
But now lie lost in our wake
Across the aching ocean acres guilty of taking us
Kidnapped, press ganged, forever from our homes
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
And so her shoreline hauls us all in
Like some fresh catch of netted fish
And we will soon forget our former homes, lost histories
Stolen loves and lives
But we will build ourselves a better time
Beneath this discovered canopy of alien stars
And anchor ourselves firmly in this new found land
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
