REBECCA
Look mister, I came to this country to get away from trouble
Well, lady, you came to the wrong place
You should have come halfway to the middle of the ocean
You jump in your trouble is gone
Once you're here, you find out
Troubles something you can't outrun
The difference is back there you had to take it
Here you get to make it
If it's wrong you can fix it
If you can't you can fight it
If you don't like to fight you can learn
Your faith needn't be blind here
You can open your mind here
See the light, better yet
Help it burn
REBECCA
People like you back home, big talkers like yourself
And they make trouble, yes, for everybody else
You're always preaching what the rest of us should do
Mister, it's
Easy for you
People like you, you wanna crawl inside a shell
As long as you are safe, the rest can go to hell
So what if life is hard for all except a few?
You want it
Easy for you
Easy for you
REBECCA
Easy for you
Long as you're warm and fed
That's all you care about in life
REBECCA
What do you care about in life?
You've got no family to protect
Easy for you
REBECCA
Easy for you
Go home and hide your head
Be someone's mousy little wife
REBECCA
People like you, you're so quick to criticize
None of the rest of us is worthy in your eyes
Those fancy speeches with a noble point of view
They're also
Easy for you
Easy for you
Easy for you
REBECCA
To talk of sacrifice
When you've got nothing you can lose
So it's wrong, is it? Hell is wrong with it?
REBECCA
Easy for you
Easy for you
REBECCA
To give me cheap advice
When you're not standing in my shoes
The rest of us can all turn blue
REBECCA
When making trouble comes I'll do
Easy for you
REBECCA
People like him, what does it matter what they say?
Why did I listen, I should laugh and walk away
Not that I need to learn
But David, he should know
Hello, mister
Where do you say that should go
To learn English
Now you're getting smart
Now, lady, now
We make a start, lady
Pull your little comfy world apart, lady
Smart lady
Take those old ways and shake ‘em up
Break ‘em down
Come along with me, lady
My new friend Saul takes us places every night
Meeting and lectures where the people scream and fight
Then Saul and Mama fight some more about it all
I really like me new friend Saul
David!
If it's wrong
You can fix it
REBECCA
Look at him
If you can't
You can fight it
REBECCA
Look at David
If you don't like to fight
SAUL AND DAVID
You can learn
REBECCA
So much quicker than me
See how his eyes are bright
Burning with excitement
Learning
Saying things right out loud
I'm still scared to think
I'm still sorting out
And my solid ground is reeling
It's a very awful feeling
This feeling of doubt
But look at you David
It's so easy for you
Now it belongs to you
Now it belongs to you
