Your hands are worn like the ground we tread

Lines tell stories of things unsaid

Eyes like storms that refuse to break

You carried the weight when everything shakes

You’re the strength I never knew I’d need

Roots so deep you made me believe

In the fire in the fight in the way we stand

Dear Mother you built this land

Torn jeans dirt-streaked hands so tough

You held the line when life got rough

Through the screams through the silence so loud

You’re my foundation you made me proud

Behind the curtain you hid your pain

Tears hit the earth like cold hard rain

But you rose up fists clenched to the sky

A warrior’s heart who never asked why

You’re the strength I never knew I’d need

Roots so deep you made me believe

In the fire in the fight in the way we stand

Dear Mother you built this land

Through empty nights and bitter days

You fought the world and paved my way

Your voice lingers like a melody

Every note’s a lesson you taught to me

You’re the strength I never knew I’d need

Roots so deep you made me believe

In the fire in the fight in the way we stand

Dear Mother you built this land

You’re the strength I never knew I’d need

Roots so deep you made me believe

In the fire in the fight in the way we stand

Dear Mother you built this land
