Dear Isle of England (Narrated by Paul McGann)

The Wampanoag girl, who many years before dreamed the island of

Tall trees, and the men, women, and children coming ashore to

Settle, dreams her dream once again. Now an old and blind woman

Her dream is even more disturbing. After the first ship of settlers

She sees many more following, until thousands have come to settle

Where the Wampanoag tribe once lived. It is a bitter, snowbound

Day, and the old blind woman predicts that before long, the

First of the settlers will arrive, and her dream will come true

At last, they're within sight of land. Driven hundreds of miles off

Course by the storms, and now low on provisions, the decision is made

To establish the new colony here. Tensions run high between the

Separatists and the other passengers, who resent taking

Orders from the Separatists. A document is drawn up

That becomes known as the Mayflower Compact. In it

A declaration of government, a new model of democracy

Dear Isle of England, so long and goodbye

The blood of our fathers is all but run dry

Hand in hand we have come here

Holding fast now together

Dear Isle of England, so long and farewell

For this new world whispers of tales we can tell

Hand in hand we will suffer

Holding strong now together

Dear Isle of England, so far on the seas

Once our great homeland, now we're exiled and free

Hand in hand we will shelter

Holding fast now together

Dear Isle of England, so long and goodbye

The blood of our fathers is all but run dry
