From Calcutta to the Caribbean
we left in search of a new world
defeating the creatures of the ocean
and disasters of nature caused
by the wind

Instead of being welcomed to a palace
we were greeted by unworked forests
given forcefully the task our
master command

left without hope and no chance
to return in our humble huts we had
no choice but to use the lamp of
faith to create our own destiny
and dream

To bring down the mountains
and to build new cities stood
before us like towers of Babylon
under the blue sky
