Her first intake was a cry of life,
Her first breath a sigh of relief
She lived within the wise trees
Among the youthful valleys
Throughout the shy and mighty winds.
She cried with the prey
She sprung with the predators,
Laughed with the leaves
Lay with the rivers
Fell with the minds of men
And rose again with their hearts.
This land was hers
These oceans she owned
Because she let herself feel,
The good along with the bad
Hope as well as despair,
Joy along with sorrow,
Both love and hate
She was free
And the world was hers for the taking.
