They were two they moved by night
No silhouette no shadow
North star shone so bright above the promised land
White blanket on a road of mud
The last of March is nearing
Footprints in a foot of snow never melt away
Forty nights they were never lost
for kindness of the stranger
Free men they flew so high like clouds before the moon
When the walls came tumbling down
Some stayed a lot moved onward
All they owned strapped across their backs
A new world so it seemed
Standing tall another wall
The devil’s reconstruction
After all of their blood and tears they’d only just begun
After so many hundred years we’ve only just begun
