What was mine was taken.
What was mine has gone.
This land, my home, a place beyond compare.
How to face each new day.
How to stay alive.
I'm now a tree whose roots are starved and bare.
Sights for those who can but see.
Sounds for those who can but hear.
Once a place where all your dreams come true.
A place that had no fear.
Now
it's all been taken.
Taken and destroyed.
They use their strength to stay in power.
Abuse their power like they're devoid of love.
They know not what they have, but still.
I suffer and I'll stay
because this island
is my birthright.
This island is my home.
What was mine was taken.
What
was mine has gone.
Learn to follow your true path.
Leave behind the
things of youth.
Everything a man could need to grow.
This island held the truth.
Now
it's been rejected.
Thrown aside like trash.
They suddenly appeared as if by thunder and lightning flash.
They ransacked everything they found.
But still.
I suffer and I'll stay because this island is my birthright.
This island
is my home.
What
was mine was taken.
What
was mine has gone.
