Finale

One, two, a-one-two-three-four

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 Toledo or you're comin' from Taipei

Because we come from everywhere, we all come from away

Welcome to the Rock

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 bring 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 eleventh, I close my office

And give each employee one hundred dollars

To go and 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 terrible at knock-knock jokes?

I don't know, Hannah

Well, try it, I'll be a Newfoundlander

Knock-knock

Come on in, the door's open

The donation we are most honored by just arrived today

It's about four meters long and twelve hundred kilograms

Newfoundland is the only place outside the United States

We're 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 honor what was lost

But, we also commemorate what we found

You are here, at the start 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

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

Five days

Nineteen animals

And seven thousand 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 harbor, then you'll find an open door

In the winter from the water to whatever's in the waves

I'm an islander, I am an islander

To the ones who have come from away, we say

We say, welcome to the

Welcome to the, welcome to the

Welcome to the, welcome to the

Welcome to the, welcome to the rock
