In a land far away
With many connections till this day
I feel like a stranger strolling 
through the sand,
Walking through my Motherland.
New experiences everyday
Some memories for life they stay 
All emotions are so grand
Walking through my Motherland.
Nostalgic notions fill my head
As I lay on my grandparents’ bed
I hear the birds chirp when I rise
Gearing up for a day full of surprise.
Ccarry a sense of pride wherever I stand
Feeling so blessed
In the arms of my Motherland.
