Each one of us is
somebody
With life, home and
family
Sounds
in sights of our lives
Speak universal humanity
We sweat with integrity
Working to be free
We labour with dignity
We are not mere pairs of
hands
We are builders of two
nations
We are spirits and
hearts
Souls, brains and minds
We are thoughts, visions
Memories, dreams, plans
From
root to fruit, from branch to stem
We
work from 6: a.m. to six p.m.
Working
to honour our ancestors
We
work to sponsor our prayers
Working
for our childrenŐs futures
We
work until we lose count of the hours
Fruits of our labours
yield billions of dollars
Mostly for others, yet
still we donŐt shirk
Because we come here to
work
We
are experts in our fields
We
work hard at home and abroad
Year to year, from there
to here
Here and there, there in
here
Here is there
Two
nations on our shoulders
Back
and forth, balance of life
Working through things
and time
Working from one place
to another
Merging two realities
into one fruitful life
