I'm a lowly worker for very little pay
Have to get up early every day
Just to get some pennies in my hand
I made some new friends and they tell me
This is the land of opportunity
I could rise above if I make my stand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I want to stay in my new land
I never knew that freedom could be so sweet
If I had a girl my life would be complete
We could walk the beaches, hand in hand
We could build a house with a white gate
I could walk the dog and we could stay up late
Bringing up the baby would be so grand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I'll make a note to change my plan
In my new land
In my new land
Learning how to sing in my new land
My new land, my new land
Have to get up early every day
Just to get some pennies in my hand
I made some new friends and they tell me
This is the land of opportunity
I could rise above if I make my stand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I want to stay in my new land
I never knew that freedom could be so sweet
If I had a girl my life would be complete
We could walk the beaches, hand in hand
We could build a house with a white gate
I could walk the dog and we could stay up late
Bringing up the baby would be so grand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I'll make a note to change my plan
In my new land
In my new land
Learning how to sing in my new land
My new land, my new land
