all eyes are on the motherland
for so long she has been taken from
fighting internally
i've seen this on my jouney
i try to tell my folks at home
so much to be said and so much to be done
i wanna help build it up
it wasn't my design or plan
to end up in this ancient land
giving thanks regularly
has made me see more clearly
i want to make it feel like home
so much to be said and so much to be done
when i look out my window i see colorful futures
waking up in the morning to the sound of the roosters
every day is a blessing each moment a lesson
so much love in the air ain't no need to be stressin
but i hate to see them chasing a dream that ain't real
with hearts like lions and soldiers you cain't kill
in the cradle of man and a place of tomorrow
there's whole lot of hope and no need for the sorrow
people don't live for sympathy
let's all proceed with empathy
i am here making my home
so much to be said and so much to be done
