Lyrics:

You are the perfume of earth
In mud caked hands...
You are the droplets of sun
beading a forehead.
Many strengths lie in your slender hands
Much relief in your shade
It's your breath that kindles the hearth of life
It's your rhythm that life sways to
It's the glint of your ear rings
That the sunlit crops wear

You are the dusk that falls
On sun baked earth
You are the promise of the dawn
After searing dark nights

A lone beacon shining
for the sleepless.
