Album: Third World Girl - Single
I woke up early this morning with a song
To tell the people where I come from
You may hear it in the accent
The twang in my tongue
Yes I come from a little island
I grew up in the country
Where there was no running water from the tap
Sometimes our cupboards were empty
Love it was all we got
We'd sing all night with a broken guitar
Having the time of our life
How did we get so far from home?
Pre-Chorus:
So I'm gonna take you there with me
Yes I'm gonna take you there so you can see
Chorus:
I'm a Third World girl
Living in a First World nation
Just a Third World girl
Living in a First World nation
Bridge:
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't forget where you're from
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Never forget where you're from
I still think my favorite drink is the water from a coconut
The best meal I ever taste; cooked on a three stone fire with love
Yes the sweetest dessert just falls off a mango tree
And at night the most beautiful sight is the stars in the heavens above
Sing praise all night with a broken guitar
Having the time of our life
How did we get so far from home?
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
Life is only what you make it
Give me a lemon I'll make lemonade
Life is only what you make it
So just make it sweet
Third World girl
Living in a Western nation
Just a Third World girl
Living in a Western Nation
We are all foreigners
We are all aliens
Pilgrims living in a foreign land
We are all foreigners
But we are His ambassadors
Our citizenship is in Mount Zion
