[00:03.58] One, two, a-one-two-three-four

[00:04.08] Welcome to the friends who have come from away

[00:05.33] Welcome to the locals who have always said they'd stay

[00:08.09] If you're comin' from Toledo or you're comin' from Taipei

[00:10.83] Because we come from everywhere, we all come from away

[00:14.58] Welcome to the Rock

[00:16.08] An islander, I am an islander

[00:16.83] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[00:18.33] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[00:21.34] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[00:26.83] Welcome to our island with its inlets and its bays

[00:29.58] You could keep on heading east, but there's an ocean in the way

[00:32.33] Where everything is meant to be, but nothing goes as planned

[00:35.34] And the drunkest fellas in the room are playin' in the band

[00:40.58] Welcome to the Rock

[00:44.83] With all the new security

[00:46.83] Kids aren't even allowed up into the cockpit anymore

[00:49.09] Of course, on my retirement flight

[00:51.08] I brought my whole family into the cockpit on our way back to Gander

[00:55.34] I came back with the scholarship money we raised

[00:57.83] Now worth over a million dollars

[01:00.08] I bring out the Irish Whiskey and we have ourselves a toast

[01:03.08] Nick and I just couldn't make the long distance relationship work

[01:06.58] So, I moved to Texas, and then I proposed

[01:09.33] And we honeymooned in Newfoundland

[01:12.08] My new secretary's name is Robin

[01:14.35] What's up?

[01:15.58] Every year on September eleventh, I close my office

[01:18.33] And give each employee one hundred dollars

[01:20.33] To go and do random good deeds for strangers

[01:23.33] It's my way of remembering what happened

[01:25.58] Beulah and I still keep in touch

[01:27.83] She even came to visit me in New York

[01:30.60] And I'll still phone her if I hear a really stupid joke

[01:33.58] Beulah, why are Newfoundlanders terrible at knock-knock jokes?

[01:37.33] I don't know, Hannah

[01:38.58] Well, try it, I'll be a Newfoundlander

[01:40.58] Knock-knock

[01:41.33] Come on in, the door's open

[01:44.33] The donation we are most honored by just arrived today

[01:47.34] It's about four meters long and twelve hundred kilograms

[01:49.83] Newfoundland is the only place outside the United States

[01:52.08] We're we share the steel from the World Trade Center

[01:55.83] On the northeast tip of North America

[01:58.33] On an island called Newfoundland, there's an airport

[02:02.08] And next to it is a town called Gander

[02:05.33] Tonight, we honor what was lost

[02:08.09] But, we also commemorate what we found

[02:11.83] You are here, at the start of a moment

[02:17.83] On the edge of the world where the river meets the sea

[02:24.58] Here on the edge of the Atlantic

[02:29.34] On an island in between there and here

[02:35.58] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:38.33] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:39.58] There and here

[02:41.33] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:43.84] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:45.33] There and here

[02:46.83] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:48.08] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[02:52.58] Welcome to the bog, welcome to the trees

[02:55.33] A kiss and a cod and whatever's in between

[02:58.09] To the ones who've left, you're never truly gone

[03:00.83] Our candle's in the window and the kettle's always on

[03:03.84] To the coves and the caves

[03:05.34] And the people from the planes

[03:06.59] Five days

[03:07.08] Nineteen animals

[03:08.08] And seven thousand strays

[03:09.58] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[03:10.08] When the Sun is setting and it's darker than the north

[03:12.58] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[03:12.84] If you're hopin' for a harbor, then you'll find an open door

[03:15.33] In the winter from the water to whatever's in the waves

[03:18.09] I'm an islander, I am an islander

[03:18.58] To the ones who have come from away, we say

[03:20.58] We say, welcome to the

[03:21.58] Welcome to the, welcome to the

[03:23.08] Welcome to the, welcome to the

[03:24.83] Welcome to the, welcome to the rock
