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
