Lyrics:
There once was a boy who became a slave
They sailed him to Ireland on that day
His dreams were shattered, his hope was lost
Until the day that he had courage to runSo he sailed across the sea
To his home on English shores
Facing toward a new horizon
And the reason he’d been bornIn freedom the boy was lying in bed
And in a dream an angel said
Go back to Ireland were you were a slave
Speak the truth that all might be savedSo he sailed across the sea
From his home on English shore
Facing toward a new horizon
And the reason he’d been bornYeah he sailed across the sea
From his home on English shore
Facing toward a new horizon
And the reason he’d been bornThis boy became the man we know
Through his hands heaven’s power was shown
He healed the sick, raised the dead, saved many souls
Throughout time his story’s been toldThat he sailed across the sea
From his home on English shores
Facing toward a new horizon
And the reason he’d been bornYeah he sailed across the sea
From his home on English shores
Facing toward a new horizon
And the reason he’d been born
