It was woven in Rupununi tapestry -
For worlds intertwined in history
To meet again -
Savannah heart and Scottish beat
Foreign lands for adventure seek
Carefree souls - Across distance found
Kindred spirits of a love thought
Could never be
They seemed like ying and yang
When he said 'gal i watch you lang'
Who could resist each others smile
Hearts that loved pure joy
He said she ah run he down
But watch who gone Sierra Leone
Bina catch he strong -
He end up in the motherland
Rupununi enchants and Scotland calls
The common spirits - for love of land
With an artists passion
A life of adventure fashioned
Why say no, when you can just go?
From just nows to coming deh
How we navigate and rate
And dem ones who always late
Those who stand with you today
Know your journey will never end
Wandering, exploring souls
Like winding Rupununi and Scottish trails
We drink, we dance and we laugh with you this night.

Torn
Where does one end and the world begin?
Why do we stand apart and deny our hearts?
Can you not see threads woven through time?
Colourful and strong-
Can you not see that there is no beginning and no end?
Can you not see that we are one?
A tapestry woven through time-
Can you not see the histories intertwined?
Cultures mix, language change and tools exchange.
Can you not see what fear does to us?
Hacking at our tapestry-
Distorting the woven story-
Why do we stand apart and deny our hearts?
Can you not see threads woven through time?
Colourful and strong-
Can you not see that there is no beginning and no end?
Can you not see that we are one?
A tapestry woven through time-
Can you not see the histories intertwined?
Cultures mix, language change and tools exchange.
Can you not see what fear does to us?
Hacking at our tapestry-
Distorting the woven story-
