Of great adversity and difficulty.
Of grief and despair
We set out on this journey to a distant land
Knowing not what might come of it.
Our possessions our wealth our everything
Our joys our sorrows to play out
We hope somewhere else we may live out
Making a new start a new beginning
We will enjoy a new life a new brotherhood
Our children will play under a new sun
We will work the land and new day will dawn.
Let us pray that it may be well
