about

A song introduced to the Pop-A-Top stable by Sonya Beale. Erin felt it fitted well onto this album.

lyrics

Came came to the motherland
With hope with hope
Came came to the motherland
With dreams with dreams of embracing a mother
Came came hope a better life
Promised a welcome befitting royalty
But in reality
There was no love from mother
No arms open wide
To pull her children to her side

Lessons lessons learned in school
About the streets paved with gold
A fallacy a fallacy
Years down the line after the work so hard for mother
She wants she wants to dash you away
Too many too many people came
Just can't take the strain
No longer no longer no longer remain

The papers to prove a legal right
No longer exist
Without the papers to prove
Mother forces you to lose

Came came to the motherland
With hope with hope

We came to the motherland
With dreams of embracing our mother
We came to England from the Caribbean
With the hope of a better life
There was no love from mother
No arms open wide
To pull her children to her side
We came to the mother land
With hope of fulfilling our potential
We came to the motherland
With dreams of embracing our mother
We came to the motherland
