| Home I�ll Be
I see the mountains, feel the salt air I have reasons to behold All the wonders that never cease to be You�re as timeless as the water You�re as gentle as the fields I caress you oh Cape Breton in my dreams And you never let the hard times Take away your soul And you stopped the tears from falling As you watched the young ones go You�re as peaceful as a clear day You�re as rugged as the seas I caress you oh Cape Breton in my dreams chorus And home I�ll be Home I�ll be Banish thoughts of leaving Home I�ll be I see the blue lakes, fell the passion I have reasons to believe There are places that will bring you to your knees I hear voices they are calling I have reason to pay heed I caress you oh Cape Breton in my dreams Any you kept your arms wide open To let your children know Wherever there is distance The heart is always home You�re as soulful as a choir You�re as ancient as the hills I caress you oh Cape Breton in my dreams chorus/repeat chorus Banish the thoughts of leaving Home I�ll be |
| We�ll Reach The Sky Tonight
The joys we shared when we were young The magic carpets that we rode The friends we made, the hills we climbed All this and more has shaped our lives chorus I know we�ll reach the sky tonight Look and see how far we�ve come Standing in our brightest light This is what the dream has done The peace that comes from knowing love The certain way I see you smile The happiness we�ve come to know Whenever we outride the storm chorus And when the night brings on the stars We�ll be there, we�ll remember We�ve reached across, we�ve touched a spark The story�s just beginning chorus Standing in our brightest light This is what the dream has done |
