Excitement in the air
There`s a journey to prepare
They check the food and water`s all on board
They`re waiting for the tide
The sails are open wide
They`re sailing to a better place to dwell
They`re sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They`re sailing to America
Set the rigging high
The quayside`s full of friends
A farewell in their hands
No-one knows if they`ll reach the shore
As Plymouth slips away
They`ll not be back again
They`re sailing off towards the promised land
They`re sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They`re sailing to America
Set the rigging high
They`re sailing to America
Fly the banners high
The Mayflower`s on her way
Set sail for many days
The lookout searching for the distant shore
Anchored in the surf
Their journey`s at an end
The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land
They`re sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They`re sailing to America
Set the rigging high
