We charted a course And took ourselves north Through Caledonian fields And back to the source A gathering force Packed up inside the guts Of an iron horse And they said a new Athens we would build And they said a new Athens we would build All that we lacked until now were the tools All that we lacked until now was the will We met with our host Raised our glass in a toast Though we were not quite home We knew we were close And we heeded his word Each man interpreting differently Just what he heard And they said a new Athens we would build And they said a new Athens we would build All that we lacked until now were the tools All that we lacked until now was the will And they said a new Athens we would build And they said a new Athens we would build All that we lacked until now were the tools All that we lacked until now was the will Was the will
