“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!”
~ “Welcome to the Rock”, from Come From Away, Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
