[00:14.34]The first day I stand foot
[00:17.87]In this fair country

[00:41.13]Walking out into the open air
[00:45.67]Well what did I see
[00:49.48]Birds flying on a westwind
[00:54.16]
[00:54.67]Sure an omen for me
[00:58.74]
[01:00.24]Opened up my mama's suitcase
[01:04.27]Saw the holes in my shoes
[01:08.57]Kicked off my old home soil
[01:12.97]Knowing I couldn't lose
[01:17.18]I kicked off that dried up soil
[01:21.58]Knowing I couldn't lose
[01:25.50]
[01:38.85]With my hands down on three jobs
[01:42.91]From the morning through the night
[01:47.22]Weary eyes don't see the difference
[01:51.58]'Tween the dark and the light

[02:34.06]And the hope in her eyes
[02:37.99]
[03:12.51]I'm just old now, all alone
[03:16.51]In a land of fertile life
[03:21.11]I see my unborn born babies
[03:26.25]Tired birds in the sky
[03:30.40]
[03:31.02]I see my unborn born babies
[03:35.67]Tired birds in the sky
[03:39.91]
[03:40.72]Before I die grant me one thing
[03:45.53]Grant one thing meto
[03:49.81]
[03:50.43]Don't let me dream of nectar
[03:55.44]Make me fruit on the tree
