lyrics

Motherland, fatherland, homeland and home soil
On my home turf by sand and surf with my family, a culture, a history and story and a people
Colonised
Independent now
So now outpost, now trading posts, with coasts and castles
And Castles overlooking rolling seas with parapets above dungeons
Walls harbouring secrets and desperate etchings and gateways
And the door of no return
But I am now returning
So look back, turn around, step forward, forward march
March on with ancestral acceptance and blessings
Sing
Sing the stories that built these cities
Sit with souls that sank at sea and share in a history
Stand confident in your survival
To be a mind moving through liniage to back before the loss we can extract only what is of use from this pain
This our chemical change
So repeat, maintain, chill in the heart of heat
Repeat the prayer that is hidden in rhythm and beat
Repeat, refrain as the cycle completes again and again
As I lay claim to Motherland, Fatherland, Homeland and Home

Find home
Come home
Make a way home
Fly away home
