Show this man the modern way
Teach him how to serve us
It's not for us it's for the Lord
To tame and to observe us
Make him lose those pagan rites
That tie his culture down
Help him see the glorious light
Bring his soul from underground
And free him from his plight
We saved him from a fate
Worse than his death
Holy Mary won't you come back tomorrow
How can they live this way
How long will it take these men
To realise we are their saviours
Isn't it clear we're here to stay
We've come to show the way
Clearing the path, laying the ground
For Salvation
Gather round us now, form a circle now
We can help you change your customs
Teach the young ones, run the village
Clean and tidy; tame the savage
Show you how to read our language
To help you understand, that
We are your friends
We're here to help them find our Lord
Whose mercy will forgive them all
Holy Mother won't you come back tomorrow
Make them forget their sinful past
We must whitewash all tradition
While superstition lasts
Teach them ambition, organizations
What they need to learn about moral code
Build them a church, show them the road
To Salvation.
We can help you change your customs
Show you how to read our language
To help you understand that
We are your friends
We're here to help them find our Lord
Whose mercy will forgive them all
Holy Father won't you come back tomorrow
We're here to help them find our Lord
Whose mercy will forgive them all
