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
And we met with our host
And raised a glass in a toast
Though we were not quite home, we knew we were close
And we heeded his words
Each man interpreted 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
Was the will
