Arrived in the promised land
in the eye of the hurricane
Old man drove me through the rain
Led me right into the giant’s way

Lost without a trace in a land of waste
An alien in the rain just looking for some work

I long to finish this day
Ain’t gonna swallow my pride no more
Working everyday for a low paid job
No way, ain’t gonna stick to the spot I was born
Somehow I just became the man from nowhere land

I was seeking a new life
Just somewhere to stay
I was looking for a ground to lay my head
In the land of the free with no prejudice
A place to call home, to get some rest
Now tell me mister
Is that begging so much?
Is that asking for so much?
Is that praying that much?

Tonight I feel like a newborn man
and I can think in a brand new way
Just like I lived on a newfound land
and it just feels like the real world

Tell me what you expect
Show me what I am
Should I stay the same
or do just what I’m meant to?

I long to finish this day
Ain’t gonna swallow my pride no more
Working everyday for a low paid job
No way, ain’t gonna stick to the spot I was born
Somehow I just became the man from nowhere land
