Haiti was born, The Calabash was broken
The waters of the world flowed down the mountain
From the sacred caves
came The Mestizo
Island people of The Arawak Taino
In Port-au-Prince the city has fallen
From rubble and dust a voice is calling
Hear the fearful cry of a frightened
nation
Carried on the wind from The Carribbean Ocean
O Haiti when I heard your cry I knew that you were broken
O Haiti you will rise again, one day you'll smile again
My Creole sister
Way back in the time when Skibbereen lay mourning
There came a messenger of love from The Choctaw Nation
Let
us fill the ship of love, navigate beneath the stars
To The Island People on their trail of tears
