I was born in a land that you might know You heard them talking about it on them T.V shows When happy times didn't come my way I thought of leaving but hoped for a better day And wide awake I was dreaming I could see The meaning of my leaving Turning to reality A childish dream knocking on a grown man's heart I guess I'll never stop until I'll reach the top My mother always use to hate it My mother hoped for me I'll forget it But you know I'm the same I was born in a land that you might know where money is not freedom And Christmas never shows When happy times didn't come our way We thought of leaving but hoped for a better day And opportunities means you have to leave Over seas higher goals to achieve And so I did and it's been And it's been a few good years So far away but I have never been so near My mother We didn't get our freedom it's something we had to take
