Between Two Worlds: An Indigenous Wanderer'Z Song

```I asked AI if they could help me rewrite Stings song for fun but add my words and came back with this, which I thought was pretty hilariously creepy and weird but I like it. It was fast and helpful and fun.

Sure, we can definitely create a new version of Sting's "Englishman in New York" that fits your story. Here's the original chorus and a verse from the song for reference:

Chorus:

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

```

Verse:

```

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I'm an Englishman in New York

```

Now, let's transform these lyrics to reflect your story about being a Canadian with a deep love for Mexico and your experiences

Chorus:

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

```

Verse:

```

I love the markets and the street food here

I dream in Spanish every night

And you can feel it in my heart when I talk

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

Full Song:

Verse 1:

I love the markets and the street food here  

I dream in Spanish every night  

And you can feel it in my heart when I talk  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

Chorus:

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico  

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

Verse 2:

Spent my days in Oaxaca and the coast  

Covid years were long but sweet  

I find my peace in the Mexican sun  

But my home still calls to me

Chorus:

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico  

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

Bridge:

Living in between two worlds  

Canada's cold, Mexico's warm  

At sixty-two, I still chase dreams  

A life's journey, so it seems

Verse 3:

I can’t work here, I’m not legal in this land  

Didn't marry, can't get residency  

But Mexico's rhythm is in my soul  

In Canada, it's hard to be

Chorus:

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico  

I'm Indigenous, but I'm legal as Canadian  

I'm a wanderer in Mexico

Outro:

I'll keep wandering, I'll keep dreaming  

Between the lands, my heart's divided  

But wherever I may roam  

I carry both lands as my home
