I came from that, not so distant shore
When my cow and sheep went up and down
Sought for because of top quality,
Good foods where sowed and reaped all the time

I came from that, not so distant shore
when cattl’ and goat gave milk and manure
Milk gave banaclower and butter
there was bushtea fo any fever

Here I am now, on another shore
Not knowing « who muh neibo’ could be »
trying to keep a place in this place
following the flow of history

Here I am now on another shore
and ah don’ know who is doing what
and ah just want the youth to learn fast
and ah just want the youth to be smart

Here I am now on another shore
We must be strong to weather the storm
We must be smarter than a monkey
We must be as wise as the old man

And from here we better go again
moving from now, hoping for better
with all the wisdom of previous ports…
That is my wish for me and for you

Adjusting to changing times
