MY MOURNING SONG



Take me to the place
Where there is no wind
Take me there
Where no one speaks
Take me there
Where people are blind
Make me blind
Hold my hand and direct me
Out of the shambles of the earth
Because I cannot see my country dying
Let me kiss my Mother
Artless and benign
Let me embrace her.
Or stab me from the front
I am a warrior
Her Son
Let me not mourn for her
Because I cannot see her dying.

Take me to the land
Where there is no god
There is no god

Or show me the way
To the past forgotten
