My blood is in this land (my body will be soon)

My blood is in this land (my body will be soon)

I have given it my blood (freely).

I have breathed the land in (the sweet, the sour)

I exhale this land wherever I may go.

You are my brother, my sister

when we feel our chests rise in the morning.

My skin is like your skin (my touch is like your touch)

My skin is wrinkled, my skin is smooth.

Our skin is new, our skin is old (there is rebirth).

I am your youth (for a while),

I am your past years of agony.

I am your smile (my muscles move the way yours muscles moved).

I am those you grieve for.

I have absorbed their energy (it can never be destroyed),

They are part of my soul.

Your heart beats between

the beats of my heart (one step behind).

The rhythm is continues.

If one stops (for they do stop)

It will suffer for the lose.

You are the tide (I see your reflection in the water),

I seek to rise to meet you.

We are the land,

We are buried in this land.

You are the soil

that makes the land (that makes the breath of life).

I will walk (we will walk together),

I will walk on my brothers and sisters

of this land.
