I was sitting and you were there. Next thing I knew I was going somewhere, thrown on a ship and I didn’t know what to do. I got off when we hit the shore. Where I was, well I wasn’t sure but I’m doing everything just to get back home to you where we can see the tide tonight, the crest upon the waves, and we could see what once was ours and wish they’d all go away.
Land of America, back in time, took my land and left me crying now I’m doing everything just to get back home to you. I will search and I’ll roam for the faces I know, where the sea and the dirt made my bones. All the feelings I hold, I can never let go of the sweet memories of my home.
