On the warm streets of Brazil I learned to dream Sun on my chest, barefoot chasing everything Light suitcase, but a heart full of ambition A boy with courage and the world in his vision I traded samba for the cold northern air Snow falling down, but I still didn't despair I crossed borders, oceans and land From green and gold to white winter sand And when the northern wind tried to test who I am It was in Caribbean blue that I found my stand Brazil taught me how to live Canada taught me how to grow But it was in Curaçao that I found A place to call my home In Canada I watched the sky turn crystal clear Worked through the winters, faced emotional fear Every step building tomorrow's plan I learned that discipline walks hand in hand Between the ice and the quiet night I found my strength deep inside I crossed borders, oceans and land From green and gold to white winter sand And when the northern wind tried to test who I am It was in Caribbean blue that I found my stand Brazil taught me how to live Canada taught me how to grow But it was in Curaçao that I found A place to call my home Three flags written in my story Three chapters carved in memory No matter where I go I carry them within me I'm a mix of fire and snow Roots that time won't overthrow I'm a road that keeps on running Even when the map keeps changing Brazil is fire Canada is steel Curaçao is the embrace I feel And that's how I keep moving Free and whole Citizen of the world But faithful to my soul But faithful to my soul
