Lyrics Welcome to the Rock

On the north-east tip of North America

On an island called Newfoundland there's an airport

It used to be one of the biggest airports in the world

And next to it is a town called Gander

Welcome to the Rock if you come from away

You probably understand about a half of what we say

They say no man's an island but an island makes a man

'Specially when one comes from one like Newfoundland

Welcome to the Rock that mornin' I'm in the classroom

It's our first day back and the school buses are on strike

So I'm covering for Annette who's running late

Sorry Beulah

How's the kids

Not exactly thrilled to be inside on such a gorgeous day

So I told 'em we'd only have a half day this mornin'

And they were quite pleased

Until I told 'em we'd have the other half in the afternoon

Welcome to the wildest weather that you ever heard of

Where everyone is nice but it's never nice above

Welcome to the farthest place you'll get from Disneyland

Fish and chips and shipwrecks

This is Newfoundland

Welcome to the Rock an islander, I am an islander

I'm an islander, I am an islander

That mornin' I'm in my car the kids cross airport boulevard to get to school

And that time of day people are in a little bit of a rush to get to work and stuff

So normally I sit there and run my radar

And if they're speeding

I'll stop 'em

And write out a warning ticket

I'll write S-T-F-D

Slow the fuck down

Welcome to the land where the winters tried to kill us and we said

We will not be killed

Welcome to the land where the waters tried to drown us and we said

We will not be drowned

Welcome to the land where we lost our loved ones and we said

We will still go on

Welcome to the land where the wind tried to blow and we said no

That mornin' I drop my kids off at school and head to the SPCA

Where I'm greeted by my other kids

All barkin' and meowin' for breakfast and a belly rub

Not that I'm complaining

I love them

But by the time feeding's done

I got to get back to pick up my human kids

So I take just one second for myself and

I'm sitting in my car

I'm in the library

I'm in the staff room and I turn on the radio

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 running my radar when Bonnie comes by

She pulls up and she is waving at me like mad

So I roll down my window and she says

Oz turn on the radio slow it down Bonnie, Jesus H Oz turn on your radio

Where our story starts it's my first day at the station

Where we'll end the night

I'm gettin' coffee for the picket line

Where we know by heart five minutes 'till my smoke break

Every single flight

I'm off to work at the airport

Welcome to the fog

Welcome to the trees

To the ocean and the sky and whatever's in between

To the ones who've left you're never truly gone

A candle's in the window and the kettle's always on

When the sun is coming up and the world has come ashore

If you're hoping for a harbour then you'll find an open door

In the winter from the water through whatever's in the way

To the ones who have come from away

Welcome to the Rock
