Let The Earth Be Calm

Let The Earth Be Calm

I remember when the sounds of war began, and then, I remember the sounds of death

Though the world seemed calm, the earth was shaken, and the country was in a shamble

As I take a deep breath, I know my thoughts are about my beloved, who is serving in this war

He is my heart, he is my breath, my lungs, my everything, and I fear for his life continually

Let the earth be calm, as I have known it, as I am a native from this land, I am a warrior, as my ancestors

The chief in my tribe, would not give up, he would let his people know of the coming of trouble

And I have faith. that the service men in my lover's troop, are equally taking care of their men

I must pray to the spirits, and not be blinded by rumors, nor shall I be side tracked from the media

My love, is a passion, no other could understand, for it is, in my soul, it is the power of a merciful combat

Where my people, took trophies, of their victory, the scalp of a white man, the unforgiving spear to death

Though I may be speaking for my own people, I am speaking for the rights of my country, for the land that I love

Let the earth be calm, and let my husband come home as one, and the world to become, a different place, where no man, no woman, no one, is to blame for their race

Let the earth be calm, let us be one, and find peace, let us shed no more blood
