What a beautiful word.
What a beautiful place.
Poised with dignity.
Full of grace.
The people, they suffer.
Individually they need.
Yet together they stand
And united they bleed.
Their land was once green
Fertile and giving.
Now it is lost
Yet still they keep living.
Their children are born
They are born un-free
They dream of a future
Where they might see the sea
But hard is their struggle
And alone they must stand.
They may be oppressed
Yet they won’t leave their land.
The future seems dim
But to them it is bright.
They will return to their land
For this is their right.
