[Verse 1: Rory Macdonald]
Here hangs an open landscape
A wild and a huge frontier
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
Through the grave, to the promised field

[Verse 2: Donnie Munro]
You came, you trapped, you charted
You laid the railroads and the schemes
And you tamed this land by enterprise
And by the power of your dreams

[Chorus]
But you made this clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose with your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon

[Verse 3: Rory Macdonald]
From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves

[Chorus]
And you made this clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose with your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon
[Verse 4: Donnie Munro]
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine, the shipyards close
'Cause in this garden, flowers die

[Verse 5: Rory Macdonald]
Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve, a candle still burns
A prayer, from a flicker to a flame

[Chorus]
But you made this clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose with your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon
To the moon
