we had to leave like you we were cast far and wide, we didn't have a choice, there was nothing to decide without food in our bellies, without a pick on our bones, without a scrap on our backs we had to leave our homes...
So welcome home, even though you're far from yours Welcome home, welcome to these shores.. You don't have to change your culture or your ways, your language or your heart, you're welcome as you are...
Don't listen to their words, we won't leave you down They're traitors to our dead, to our history abroad, We sailed on coffin ships to many foreign shores We were welcome to their lands and now the turn is ours...
So welcome home, even though you're far from yours Welcome home, welcome to these shores.. You don't have to change your culture or your ways, your language or your heart, you're welcome as you are...
