The Sun is rising
And boy you gotta know
It's about to set on a horizon
A guy like me would never know
You will know that liberty
Stems from a foreign land
Where you can be what you wanna be
And play with a better hand
Work, money opportunity
Don't you know they have it all
Now it's a shame that you gotta leave
It's a shame you gotta go
A hot bona fide college degree
Don't you know you need it most
Now it's a shame that you gotta leave
It's a shame you gotta go
But when the sun sets
and I'm all on my own
I get this feeling
That I'll never be home
They talk of kinship
But won't call you their own
Cause see, you're different
But you couldn't have known
It's not the same here
not the seed you had sown
It's but the first year
Father I shouldn't have flown
Oh take me back there
So I can sing you this song
And then you'll know that
It's only here I belong.
