About the Song

Go, but don't forget your home
The love you have always known
Is waiting to see you soon

Can you hear the sound 
Beating from the ground?

Deep inside the valley
Hidden in the river
Dancing in the wind upon your skin
I can hear her calling
Telling me to make amends
Mother, we'll meet again

Lost, but we have never gone
This is where we belong
Always return to

Now & then it's easy to forget
It's her that we need to defend
Oh Mother, we'll meet you again
