My land for a bottle of gin (by Arieta Erika 2009)

across the ocean we sailed away
from all that we have known
my mother and father sisters and brothers
afraid of the unkown.

dear sir, do you know what you have done
to put yourself up high?
to tell us to leave our land
and left us out to die.

Ambassadors + self appointed rulers
who said Ïts only right"
did you ever once think of us
and how you stole our rights

I am old now but remember still
the day you said "get out!"
confused , i had to leave my land
my home, my life, my love

and so i humbly beg of you
to give us back our land
and heal the many broken hearts
who long to see her shores
