Samoas Song
I was working, runnin’ around,
Keeping busy, spreading my sound,
Always moving, always on the run.
All I needed was a place to lie down in the sun,
In the sun,
Every day, it come and go,
I got no chance see, to take it slow.
‘we gotta go now’ somebody said,
I just wanted a place to rest my head,
To rest my head.

CHORUS:
I just wanna go where my people are from.
I just wanna hear them singing their songs.
It’s been so long.
Samoa, I’ll come
Samoa, I will come

Then one day, I woke at home,
And I was chillin out the back with everyone,
When somebody put a present in my hand,
My mother turned to me she smiled and she said;
“it’s time you go, you're going home”
and when I got there my troubles slipped away,
my cousins took me to the fale where we’d stay.
Knowing your roots now, helps to make you whole.
Magiagi villiage, Samoa, what you've done for my soul,
For my soul.

CHORUS:
I promise I wont stay away so long.
Yeah I wanna come back and sing you my songs,
I wont be long.
Samoa, I’ll come,
Samoa, I will come
