The first time that you set your eyes on me
You could not wait to get ashore
Because you needed to explore
What you found was like a paradise
And you decided to settle here.
After you got what you wanted
You left like a thief in the night
Leaving me to wonder
What did I do wrong?
Why did you abandon me?
I cried so many tears
And what hurts the most
When I found out I'd been cheated
How could you hate me so?
After I've done so much for you
I could not survive on my own
And I watched leaders fight for power
That led to corruption and riots
I went through disaster after disaster
Now I cry for help!
