Now mother don't go crying...
I'm bound away to Amerikay.
No I won't delay
No my mind wont change.
Let your young man say goodbye before your boy begins to cry.

"I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core." Yeats/The Lake Isle of Innisfree

"Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
