I from the land of the disconnected
Without history
Like a tree without roots
Hollow
I wander about in search of wholeness
Dreaming of lost ancestry
Wonder about my spirit
The great seed from which I grew
I have lived among strangers

I from the land of the disconnected
Finding home
Scarred from the ravages of war
I recognize myself in this forest

I have come to heal
To love where love is lost
To speak into the silence
To reclaim my place in time

I from the land of the disconnected
Returning home
No longer hollow
My roots embrace the familiar earth
I feel the blood of my grandmother
Remember the strength of her love
Finding the family I know
Perhaps together we will make music once again
