Dreams Of Nectar |
| The first day I stand foot |
| In this fair country |
| Border man took my paper |
| Told me I would be free |
| Border man took my paper |
| Told me I was now free |
| Walking out into the open air |
| Well what did I see |
| Birds flying on a westwind |
| Sure an omen for me |
| Opened up my mama’s suitcase |
| Saw the holes in my shoes |
| Kicked off my old home soil |
| Knowing I couldn’t lose |
| I kicked off that dried up soil |
| Knowing I couldn’t lose |
| Wearing my hands down on three jobs |
| From the morning through the night |
| Weary eyes don’t see the difference |
| 'Tween the dark and the light |
| Weary eyes don’t see the difference |
| 'Tween the dark and the light |
| 10 years later Papa wrote me |
| Saying Mama had died |
| Wish that I could see her face now |
| And the hope in her eyes |
| Wish that I could see her face now |
| And the hope in her eyes |
| I’m just old now, all alone |
| In a land of fertile life |
| I see my unborn born babies |
| Tired birds in the sky |
| I see my unborn born babies |
| Tired birds in the sky |
| Before I die grant me one thing |
| Grant one thing to me |
| Don’t let me dream of nectar |
| Make me fruit on the tree |
