remember, remember
the blood streaks
running down your legs
the darkness of death
and flames of shame
remember, remember
liberating pain
tearing your heart apart
and screaming in vain
remember, remember
burying your own children
digging the dirt with your hands
hot tears the only prayer over them
remember, remember
the fight and the pride
the weapons you carried
the killing in vain
remember, remember
the plight out to sea
seeking for gold
seeking for me
remember, remember
the horror and pain
strangers in your land
plunder and rape
killing for faith
remember, remember
the darkness of dawn
the promise of light
the tremble of your body
bursting with fright
remember, remember
the cold and the frost
the lure of the dead
in white barren lands
far up the northern skies
remember, remember
the darkness of your womb
where all life started
deep in the woods
remember, remember
the comfort of home
before time began
where we were all one
remember, remember
the softness of Earth
the hug of the trees
moist soil underneath your feet
remember, remember
the green of the moss
the call of the rana
the smell of the vine
remember, remember
the taste of the earth
the milk of the mother
the feel of the home
remember remember
embrace of the forrest
guided by the stars
follow the river
she's leading you home
