When I was young
And I was strong
I grabbed this land
Before my money was gone
We lived in a shack
That had one door
I was a taxi hack
And we slept on the floor

I tilled & I planted
My garden beds
I played reggae music
And I grew long dreads
It was freedom on my land
Freedom from the norm
My way to make a stand
My shelter from the storm

The stars were bright
The air was clean
The water flowed
In a turquoise stream
I grew to love the cypress trees
And all the blossoms were filled with bees

I made my way as a carpenter
I managed to pay the bills
My woman left    It was me & the kids
On our land out in the hills

I worked & I worked
Through the ebbs & the flows
The struggles continued
Till my true love showed
It was just by chance
Under the stars above
We laughed & we danced
And made beautiful love

Throughout the years
We made it home
The kids grew up
And  found their own
My true love slipped
Through the veil
And I was all alone

Along with the foxes & the squirrels & the deer
It was me & my guitar
Singing through the laughter & singing through the tears
Under the moon & the stars

One man's story
Amongst a bunch
Along with the others
I have a hunch
Our beliefs may be
Like day & night
But we howl at the moon
And we rise with the light

Some live in castles
And some live in shacks
But at the end of the day
We have each other's backs
We come together
Through our love for the land
Like birds of a feather
We make our stand
