Let us sing of days gone by Blood and tears to sanctify Freedom was a lullaby When we made the crossing We who stood a St. James gate Hat in hand there with our fate The wind was cold the risk was great For we who made the crossing As we turned from Hunger's door Troubles there to bear no more Promise waiting on the show For we who made the crossing Some would rise and some would fall Battle cry we heard the call Liberty was after all Why we made the crossing Sing we of our kin and kind All those we have left behind Ever in our hearts and minds We who made the crossing So raise a glass and speak the names All of those who braved the flames Heaven hell it's all the same For we who made the crossing
