On one of the rare occasions that we manage to get together, we decided to have a go at a light-hearted song :) just for fun! We changed the words to be about our time in Mizoram.
Love from Susie, Liz and Jess
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I hopped off the plane at Lengpui
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of Mizoram (whoa),
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the sumo,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Lunglei sign
This is all so crazy
Never mind this guy called David!
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda road sick
Potholes and we're driving too quick,
That's when the driver turned on the radio
And a Bethsy song was on
And a Bethsy song was on
And a Bethsy song was on
Chorus:
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Thank God we made it here
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
And I know it's gonna be just grand
Yeah, it's a party in Mizoram
Yeah, it's a party in Mizoram
Verse 2:
Get to the church in my trainers
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that sap sitting at the back
She gotta be from out of town."
It's easier with my girls all around me
I'm jet lagged and feeling kinda sleepy
And all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
A different language and I don't understand it
That's when the Band started playing my favourite hymn
A Kutpah Ropui was on
I can't believe I know this song!
Maybe I'm starting to belong!
[Chorus]
Feel like hoppin' on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me every time
When I hear my song I feel alright
