I set out running

I left everything behind

On a boat to Luzon

I couldn’t help but cry

I set out running

I left everything behind

Cry for my family

In a distant land

I send them money

Whenever I can

They work me so hard

I barely feel like a man

Landed in Mexico

Where they had blood in their eyes

In a mess of revolution

They beat me, robbed me blind

From Luzon to Mexico,

They robbed me beat me blind

Standing at the border

Hills shine like gold

Hills fulls of promise

Of a happy home

If the police don’t catch me

That’s where I’m going to make my home

This life of running

is not for me

So I let my mind drift

way across the sea

How long must I keep drifting

like a lost ship at sea?
