A New Athens

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
