Without father, without mother,
I grew up, running wild and free.
Mountains I conquered, cities I build;
In a strange land, I've now arrived.

Your light was brighter than the sun,
Your hushed whispers, overwhelmed the Sirens.
I'm tempted, I followed and I fell;
In a strange land, I'm now enslaved.

In a Strange Land

Morning—
Each person 
is trying to say: 
"I'm here." 
—in his or her
own unique
impetuous way.
But please remember 
to leave your 
handprint 
on a wall
and check on it
30,000 
years later.
