Motherland
tucked underneath
patchwork acres
with small towns sticking out
Motherland
where wise and deep
silent rivers
flow unbound
Motherland
your whispering trees
always lulled men to sleep
who think they run all this
Motherland
hold me close to your breast
Remind me who I am
when I lose myself
Motherland
If I ever leave
I know
you’ll be right here waiting
Motherland
These man-made streets
full of vanity and greed
could never touch you
Motherland
I’ll sit on your beach
watch the cruel sea retreat
just to feel you’ll never move
Motherland
hold me close to your breast
Remind me who I am
When I lose myself
