Our ancestors walked this land Three to four hundred years ago They worked hard but still had fun As they watched their children grow. They begat many heirs While on their journey here Papa toiled as he tilled the land Granny kept the house in fine cheer Children did their chores But, had plenty of time to play. And they thought of their future When they would have a say.We wouldn’t be here at all If not for the ones before Who came to this great land From various countries galore.Trouble in the home country Either finances or loss Forced them to brave the vast ocean For they must venture across.To make a place for themselves Not knowing that in the future we Would enjoy this great heritage In a country they made to be free.
