When the blood in your veins
Returns to the sea
And the earth in your bones
Returns to the ground
Perhaps then, you will remember
This land
Doesn’t belong to you
You belong to the land
So when your pain is deep
And your heart is weak
You can feel the beat of her endless love
All the joy she brings
And the birds will sing
That she doesn't belong to you
You belong to the land
And she doesn't care if you call her by name
She doesn't care if you have money or fame
When you called out for bread, it just grew from her smile
When you called out for rain, it just fell from her sky
So when the tired soldiers return to their homes
And the broken people return to be whole
And to be together is the most high command
Maybe you will find your peace
Maybe you'll understand
That she doesn't care if you call her by name
She doesn't care if you have money or fame
When you called out for bread, it just grew from her smile
When you called out for rain, it just fell from her sky
And when you’re old and gray
She will take you in
In her loving arms your journey begins
She knows that one day you will understand
That she doesn't belong to you
You belong to the land
And she doesn't care if you call her by name
She doesn't care if you have money or fame
When you called out for bread, it just grew from her smile
When you called out for rain, it just fell from her sky
Self-sovereignty
We don't need authority
Like the tree don't need no one to tell it to grow
You know
Cause everything has an order
A magic way to be
Don't try to control it
Just set it free let it breath
Hey magic seed can you believe
No hunger no hatred what we can achieve
If we just remember our land and our home
We are made of this earth and to her we'll return
