Child of the soil, they call themselves Yet they walk on a pedestal so high Their feet has no dust I’m the child of the soil They say with voices causing tremors on the ground Yet Their feet are buried on the cushion of clouds I’m the child of the soil They say chanting they’re clan names Yet they know not the ground their great parents lay I’m the child of the soil Yet they are not rooted in it Easily tossed around and misplaced they lay The ground lays barren The amazons once envied their homeland Now, they are just a wasteland Yet, they are children of the soil
