lyrics

Several years ago I stranded on you.
You gave me shelter, so I made it through.
Tired and hungry, I took a look:
No cannibals and no Captain Hook.

You gave me everything I need to survive,
You were my new home, where I lived my life
Where I lived my life.

I got a farmer and went through the years,
Grew trust in you and lost lotta fears.
Then one day surprising strange people came along.
And tried to kill their man but I saved that one.

He got my fellow then, a new point of view.
And I gave forward what I could and knew.
What I could and knew.

As we got two more hands we got double the yield.
But then we saw strangers again on our field.
They spoke my language, didn’t want me to stay,
I’d be go to my real home so I had to say:

Farewell, beloved island!
Farewell, I waved my hand!
You’ll stay being part of me
On my way through the big, dark seas!

Farewell, beloved island!
Farewell, I waved my hand!
You’ll stay being part of me
On my way through the big, dark seas!
The big dark seas!
