this land is our land, this land is stolen land
Home is the intersection
of man and god --
the existing and the created --
the past and the future.
It's the air we breathe
and whats in it.
It's the blood in our veins
and the veins of our children
as they dance upon
their hills of green(er) grass.
Whose home is this they ask,
dreaming of an untold tale
where the story of this land
is finally heard by the children
who cared for it
instead of the children of those
who bought it
with their fire
and their brimstone
and called it home.
