Wings of Eagles

Driven out of Norway
 To Iceland we set sail
 My father then went further
 To a place where we'd be safe
 The barren soil of Greenland
 Could not sustain our clan
 We needed to go westward
 To find a better land
 We soar upon the wings of eagles
 We fly across the open sea
 We leave the rugged shores of Greenland
 For a realm, a land, where we can be free
 ♪
 Then on an expedition
 After days at sea
 We saw on the horizon
 A land of woods and fields
 I would be the first man
 To tread these newfound lands
 Here we'd build our new life
 Our future was in our own hands
 ♪
 Forty years of hard work
 Struggling to survive
 Fighting hard to tame the land
 To make our people thrive
 At first, we made some progress
 In the end, we were too few
 Our settlement decreased
 And disillusion grew
 After all these years of struggle
 Of blood, tears, sweat and pain
 We had to leave our newfound land
 Our efforts were in vain
 ♪
 We soared upon the wings of eagles
 We flew across the open waves
 Our hearts yearned for the taste of freedom
 To Vinland's shores we did set sail
 Sailing west we found our new land
 We tried to build a better life
 But we had to go back to old Greenland
 After years of hard work and futile strife
