Then we arrived,

An hour passed slowly,

Many people passing by us,

Felt like going through a supermarket in crisis,

Then we arrived home,

Our new home was in our hands,

After so much suffering,

Finally, we could rest,

Then we unpacked,

A lot of stuff from the past,

In a very beautiful present,

We are in America,

Finally, the crisis ended,

Finally, the future started,

Finally, the suffering ended,

Finally, we were there,

We are in the beginning,

We are in peace,

We are with new people,

We are at the start of something beautiful,

We are in America.
