Cry with me, Mother
And let our teardrops turn to rock
You can strike me until I shatter into a million pieces:
I will become the sands of time
I will become the truth of imminent change
For cities and kingdoms are built upon those sandsÂ
that cross oceans to feed the Amazon
I will become your mirrorÂ
Showing you the emptiness inside you
Because nothing will ever be enough
For an empty heart
