[Verse 1]
Fear can't be tamed, can't be drowned
By words torn apart
How can I get off the ground
And not tumble down?
Pain – like a stone, river drop
Falling out of bounds
Swoop...
And now we're crystals in the clouds
...
Breath...
And guiding rivers along their way
Toward sunrise winds are flying free
To where the weeds blooming out of pain
In the quiet cradle of my memory
Walking along these forgotten tracks
In separate ways moving you and me
And there between us is love...
[Chorus]
And Ma Zemlya, Mother Earth
Fly higher than the clouds
Zemlya, Mother Earth
To winds, towards the howls
Zemlya, Mother Earth
Fly high, into the sky
Zemlya, Mother Earth
[Verse 2]
Violent cries, overhead
Flock of fragile wings
Off distant end we deflect
Like two echoings
And reaching heights only seen
Deep beneath the waves
Shade...
Mighty Giants over the plains
...
Breath...
And shining bright the horizon burns
Over my banks spreading fiery wings
Where you can savour the scent of herbs
Listen to the calling of alluring springs
The vital source hidden far away
Where nothing matters, but you and me
And that between us is love...
[Chorus]
And Ma Zemlya, Mother Earth
Fly higher than the clouds
Zemlya, Mother Earth
To winds, towards the howls
Zemlya, Mother Earth
Fly high, into the sky
Zemlya, Mother Earth
[Outro]
Ma Zemlya
