Part One: Worlds Apart
Instrumental
Part Two: Wayfinders
Ten days across the water
Swift as the steamers are
Ten days of storms and danger
Two thousand fathoms and more
Soundings of depth are taken
A line sent far below
Wayfinders on the ocean
Making new ground for us all
And so it seems
Power is knowledge
And time is an object
To overcome
Close the distance
Bring all together
A world undivided
Let mankind be as one
Hard fought new ground can be lost
Signals can fade away
High seas and tempest break us
Lost to the depths and the void
And so it seems
Power is knowledge
And time is an object
To overcome
Close the distance
Bring all together
A world undivided
Let mankind be as one
Part Three: Great Eastern
Men of the Great Eastern
Answer the call
They have no cross to bear
They are as one
The line will hold
Bring it to earth
Give power to the words
That cross the world
From distant lands
The shape of the Great Eastern
Takes form in the mist
All that was lost is found
Back from the deep
The wire sings
New world meets old
The continents are joined
Together again
With the thrill of the line
Part Four: Lightning Through Deep Waters
Instrumental
Part Five: The Sound of Quiet Voices
We make new common ground
With light and sound
Close the distance
Open minds
Hear the quiet words
The wisdom of strangers
Of those left behind
We look up at the same stars
See further as one
