The Dream/Indiana

Farewell now Indiana

Your green lands been good to me

There I traveled, there I settled

There I raised up my family

But the cord has never severed

And the longing each day has grown

So tomorrow I'll be leaving

For the land I call my home

All my friends they say I'm crazy

Going back to such poverty

America is, so they say now

The land of opportunity

But the shy hare runs so swiftly

And the heron slowly flies

These are treasures from my homeland

All your money cannot buy

And while our ship lies in the harbor

I will look back upon that shore

I'll feel sadness that I'm leaving

Your green land forevermore

But when the ship lies on the ocean

And each day we're out on the sea

All the dreams I've had for years now

Drawing nearer reality

Farewell now Indiana

Your green lands been good to me

There I traveled, there I settled

There I raised up my family

But the cord has never severed

And the longing each day has grown

So tomorrow I'll be leaving

For the land I call my home
