I feel the wind blowing through my doorway, |
|
It's telling me that the summer's gone, |
|
And the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm; |
|
I am old and my bones are weary, |
|
And my son he is all I have, |
|
But he has gone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart; |
|
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands, |
|
But can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground, |
|
Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? |
|
Oh oh oh.... |
|
I watched them sail from the rocks below me, |
|
'Twas like the sea in its endless rage, |
|
Many fall on the road to freedom, dying on the stones; |
|
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands, |
|
But can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground, |
|
Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? |
|
Oh oh oh.... |
|
Late last night, as the world was sleeping, I dreamed my boy, |
|
He was calling out, 'cos he was lost in some dark forest, and |
|
Snow was falling down, falling on the ground......ooh..... |
