Two Ships Did Arrive
Into our harbour
Two ships did sail
From foreign lands
Through storms and gales
These bringers of new
From far distant places
With their spices and silks
And their different faces
Most welcome they are
To our harbour walls they approach
To respect our laws
And not to encroach
Once on our lands
They can do as we do
But to misrepresent themselves
We shall see them through
Off their ships they embark
On my lands they now stand
Absorbing the greenery and grandeur
My island of grand
Our children and women
To the harbour they head
Two ships have arrived
Many people have said
For they know there will be
Many things that are new
As they barter their wares
To these foreigners few
Days will pass
And these ships will depart
On a new journey they will head
To another place so apart
Where am i
You are asking yourselves
I am on a place called Atlantis
Near the Atlantic shelf
