The Old World
I was born in the Old World, in the lowest land of all
16 ft below the sea, guarded by a wall
Where centuries' old buildings stand
and Kings and Queens rule the land for all
Old time customs lend a hand, teach the new ones how to stand and fall
I heard talk of the new world,
they say the streets are paved with gold
Fortune lies a-waiting for anyone who goes I'm told
Living life without a care, even be a millionaire or so
I know that I will make it there, if only I could pay the fare, I'd go
I was born in the Old World, not too many years ago
Livin' life wasn't easy, but it was all I used to know
It wasn't all just milk and cream,
chasing down that New World Dream oh no
But working hard to the extreme, finally gave me self-esteem to show
16 ft below the sea, guarded by a wall
Where centuries' old buildings stand
and Kings and Queens rule the land for all
Old time customs lend a hand, teach the new ones how to stand and fall
I heard talk of the new world,
they say the streets are paved with gold
Fortune lies a-waiting for anyone who goes I'm told
Living life without a care, even be a millionaire or so
I know that I will make it there, if only I could pay the fare, I'd go
I was born in the Old World, not too many years ago
Livin' life wasn't easy, but it was all I used to know
It wasn't all just milk and cream,
chasing down that New World Dream oh no
But working hard to the extreme, finally gave me self-esteem to show
