Cross the waters, thousands at a time
All we owned was in our hands
Holding tight to faith and something we could find

In this strange and distant land
Took one last look behind
Open hearts and open minds
And these colors that we held so dear before
We planted them together on these foreign shores
My green, white and orange, the red white and blue
Yeah, my green white and orange, the red white and blue
Young and hungry, ready for the brawl
We were driven by desire
No way back, we were prepared to risk it all
We'd been tempered by the fire
We built the roads, we built the rails
We shared our songs, we shared our tales
Now our colors fly together side by side
And we lift them to the sky with peace and pride
My green, white and orange; red white and blue
Yeah, my green white and orange; red white and blue

Lift your colors every woman, every child every man
Our song has just begun

We are many, we are one
Not everyone will live to see what we dreamed this world to be
When we doubt we'll have the strength to see it through
These colors show us all the way to what is true
My green, white and orange; my red white and blue
Yeah, my green white and orange; red white and blue
Yes, my green, white and orange; my red white and blue
Yeah, my green white and orange; my red white and blue
Yeah, my green, white and orange; my red white and blue
Yeah, my green white and orange; my red white and blue
