I am grief, I am sorrow of seeing a loved one die.
I am all the cities that have ever been razed,
I am the unknown dead hero,
I am the lost child who froze to death,
I am the killed mother of the hungry little ones.
I am the lost knowledge never to be recovered,
I am the true history never to be learned,
I am the cry never heard, the tear never seen,
I am the lips never kissed,
I am the lonely night.
I am the deceived honesty,
I am the lost dignity,
I am your stolen freedom,
I am all the best that could be...
I am the wide eyed land
