'39
Queen Lyrics

In the year of '39, assembled here the volunteers
In the year 1939, the volunteers gathered here to embark on a journey.

In the days when lands were few
During a time when there were not many places left to explore.

Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The ship sailed out into a beautiful morning sky.

The sweetest sight ever seen
The view was astonishing and indescribably beautiful.

And the night followed day
Time passed by.

And the story tellers say
According to the tales passed down through generations.

That the score brave souls inside
There were twenty brave souls on board the ship.

For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
The journey was long and arduous, taking them across seas that looked like milk under the night sky.

Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Despite the hardships, they pushed forward with courage and determination.

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Even though it's been years since we've met, can you hear me calling out to you?

Don't you hear me calling you
I long to be reunited with you.

Write your letters in the sand
Please write me letters that I can read when I am alone.

For the day I take your hand
I dream of the day when we can be reunited and hold each other's hand.

In the land that our grandchildren knew
A world where our grandchildren can live and thrive.

In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The year 1939 also had a ship coming home.

The volunteers came home that day
The volunteers returned from their journey.

And they bring good news of a world so newly born
They shared about a world that is just beginning to flourish.

Though their hearts so heavily weigh
Despite their joy, they carry a heavy burden deep inside.

For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
The Earth is aging and its beauty is fading; we must leave it behind someday.

But my love, this cannot be
I cannot bear the thought of leaving you.

Oh, so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Time has passed, and I have aged, but it feels like just yesterday that we departed.

Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
When I look into your eyes, I see a reflection of your mother, who I miss deeply.

All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
Reading your letters brings me comfort, but nothing compares to the touch of your hand.

For my life
I struggle with loneliness and longing.

Still ahead
I must continue living, despite the pain.

Pity me
My heart aches with loneliness, and I beg for your pity.
