Welcome to the friends
who have come from away
Welcome to the locals
who have always said they’d stay
If you’re comin’
from Toldeo or you’re comin’
from Taipei
Because we come from everywhere
we all come from away
Welcome to the Rock
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
Welcome to our island
with its inlets and its bays
You could keep on heading east
but there’s an ocean in the way
Where everything is meant to be
but nothing goes as planned
And the drunkest fellas
in the room are playin’
in the band
Welcome to the Rock
With all the new security
kids aren’t even allowed up
into the cockpit anymore
Of course on my retirement flight
I brought my whole family
into the cockpit
on our way back to Gander
I came back with the scholarship
money we raised
now worth over a million dollars
I get out the Irish whiskey
and we have ourselves a toast
Nick and I just couldn't make
the long distance
relationship work
so I moved to Texas
and then I proposed
and we honeymooned
in Newfoundland
My new secretary’s name is Robin
what’s up
Every year on September 11th
I close my office
and give each employee $100
to go do random good deeds
for strangers
It’s my way of remembering
what happened
Beulah and I still keep in touch
she even came to visit me
in New York
And I’ll still phone her
if I hear a really stupid joke
Beulah- why are Newfoundlanders
really terrible
at knock knock jokes
I dunno Hannah
Well try it I’ll be a
Newfoundlander
Knock knock
Come on in- the door’s open
The donation we are most honoured
by just arrived today
It’s about 4 metres long
and 1200 kilograms
Newfoundland is the only place
outside the united states
where we share the steel
from the World Trade Center
On the northeast tip
of North America
on an island called Newfoundland
there’s an airport
And next to
it is a town called Gander
Tonight we honour what was lost
but we also commemorate
what we found
You are here
On the edge of a moment
On the edge of the world
where the river meets the sea
Here on the edge of the Atlantic
On an island in between there
and here
sustain
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
there and here
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
there and here
I’m an islander I am an islander
I’m an islander I am an islander
Welcome to the bog
welcome to the trees
A kiss and a cod
and whatever’s in between
To the ones who’ve left
you’re never truly gone
Our candle’s in the window
and the kettle’s always on
To the coves and the caves
and the people from the planes
5 days
19 animals
and 7000 STRAYS
I’m an islander I am an islander
When the sun is setting
and it’s darker than the north
I’m an islander I am an islander
If you’re hopin’ for a harbour
then you’ll find an open door
I’m an islander I am an islander
In the winter from the water
to whatever’s in the waves
I’m an islander I am
To the ones who have come
from away
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the ROCK
