And so, they walk on.
Eyes wide open, hands are closed.
Ready for anything.
Storming into the uncharted, unfamiliar.
No knowledge of, the dangers they will face.
Go forth, don't fear.
Whatever lies ahead, is nothing you can't bear.
The frontiers wait, untouched and wild.
Stretch your legs and take a step ahead.
They built the roads, they took the risks.
It was all for us, from cradle to the grave!
Forever grateful for the sacrifices they made, they gave.
All, they, could, to make a better life for us.
Valiant, lion-hearted.
Our carriers. (Carry us)
Through this mist of grey.
Our guardians!
They built the roads, they took the risks.
It was all for us, from cradle to the grave!
Descendants
Now let us sing for them!
Pioneers, they carried us and they held our hands.
Where we would be without them, show reverence.
Pioneers, they gave us strength and they stood by us.
Where we would be without them, show reverence.
Generation after generation, look to them for guidance.
Pioneers, treading the ground for those, who follow behind.
Treading the ground for us.
You were there the day I was born!
You were there the day when couldn't take the weight of the world!
And I will miss you, the day when you are gone!
I will remember, every life lesson that you told me!
I will remember, how you helped me here!
Thus they built the foundation.
For us to carry on the work that they had done.
As a legacy, they gave it to us.
And the knowledge, will forever pass on!
Pioneers, they carried us and they held our hands.
Where we would be without them, show reverence.
Pioneers, they carried us and they held our hands.
Where we would be without them, show reverence.
Pioneers, they gave us strength and they stood by us.
Where we would be without them, show reverence.
Generation after generation, look to them for guidance.
Pioneers, treading the ground for those, who follow behind.
Valiant, lion-hearted.
Our carriers. (Carry us)
Through this mist of grey.
Our guardians!
They built the roads, they took the risks.
It was all for us, from cradle to the grave!
