Third World Girl

I woke up early this morning with a song To tell the people where I come from You may hear it in the accent The twang in my tongue Yes I come from a little island I grew up in the country Where there was no running water from the tap Sometimes our cupboards were empty Love it was all we got We'd sing all night with a broken guitar Having the time of our life How did we get so far, from home? So I'm gonna take you there with me Yes I'm gonna take you there so you can see I'm a Third World girl Living in a First World nation Just a Third World girl Living in a First World nation Ooh, ooh, ooh Don't forget where you're from Ooh, ooh, ooh Never forget where you're from I still think my favorite drink Is the water from a coconut The best meal I ever taste; Cooked on a three stone fire with love Yes, the sweetest dessert just falls off a mango tree And at night the most beautiful sight Is the stars in the heavens above Sing praise all night with a broken guitar Having the time of our life How did we get so far, from home? So I'm gonna take you there with me Yes I'm gonna take you there so you can see I'm a Third World girl Living in a First World nation Just a Third World girl Living in a First World nation Life is only what you make it Give me a lemon I'll make lemonade Life is only what you make it So just make it sweet Third World girl Living in a Western nation Just a Third World girl Living in a Western Nation We are all foreigners We are all aliens Pilgrims living in a foreign land We are all foreigners But we are His ambassadors Our citizenship is in Mount Zion Ooh, ooh, ooh Don't forget where you're from Ooh, ooh, ooh Never forget where you're from
