With the sunset On our shoulders
As we sail Into the wind
What we do is Bid adieu
To all that we ever knew
For we know we may never Return again
As we sail down upon Down on the sunrise
Seeking Pitcairn's isle way-out
Way out by nothing atoll
Far between the silent Moai statue
And the distant Polynesian shoals
We're gonna run-to, run-to-the
Run to the rock for rescue
And our refuge forever
More
Oh, I should have listened to my brother
When he showed me how to survive
By the time the world returned The world turned to us again
Only one man, One man Remained alive
Oh, I...I should have listened
To Iorana
When we stood, when we stood
When we stood, when we stood
Side by side
'Cause our world is, world is getting smaller
Soon there'll be no, no place left to hide
I had only, only, only to give my honor
Soon there'll be no, be no
Place to hide
