Harriet Tubman [Tongan translation]

One night I dreamed I was in slavery,

'Bout 1850 was the time

Sorrow was the only sign,

Nothing around to ease my mind

Out of the night there came

A lady leading a distant pilgrim band

"First mate!" she yelled, pointing her hand

"Make room on board for this young man."

And she said

(REF:)

Come on up, mm-mm, I got a lifeline

Come on up to this train of mine

Come on up, mm-mm, I got a lifeline

Come on up to this train of mine

She said her name was Harriet Tubman

And she drove for the Underground Railroad

Hundreds of miles we traveled onward

Gathering slaves from town to town

Seeking every lost and found,

Setting those free that once were bound

Finally my heart was growing weaker,

I fell by the wayside sinking sand

Firmly did this woman stand,

She lifted me up and took my hand

And she said

Who are these children dressed in red?

They must be the ones that Moses led

Who are these children dressed in red?

They must be the ones that Sister Moses led

(REF)

Then I awoke, no more I faltered,

Finding new strength for the tasks we're shown:

Sisters and brothers leaving their homes,

Their history, their people, all they've known

And they are fleeing their homes in Guatemala,

Chile, Brazil, El Salvador

Fleeing from the prisons and war,

Through the night and through Mexico to our door

Will we sing
