Motherland
No one can bring you down
Always remember
No one can bring you down (x2)

Sit and reminisce about the world
Momma was a little girl
Just before Soviet soldiers came
Aiming at the pipelines
Just above the surface
She would climb trees with scraped knees in search of
Scurry through the branches searching for pomegranates
Hidden in the gardens of marvelous green grass autumns
Until the communist government army sent spies at every corner
Land mines now still ticking at the boarders
One small step from an innocent child
Now he running flying kites up in paradise
She said, we could only watch
Said we could only watch as our land dried up
Like the tears we used to cry dried in the dust
Tired of the violence my grandmamma, rest in peace
She took her babies and searched for a place to sleep
Three nights in the valley under cover of moonlight
Took a route through the mountains
Found a country that could keep them safe enough
Through the days, till her babies all moved away
And she sang

No one can bring you down

No one can bring you down (x2)

Motherland that I’ve never known
That I never set foot on
I was made like a stray, but I pray for a day
I get to walk the lands our ancestors all stood on
Your blood runs through me
Just like regimes that marched through to conquer you
We got stronger with every single obstacle

No one can bring you down
Always remember
No one can bring you down (x2)

When the soviets left, they left ashes
What happened next was a catastrophe
Massive death tolls, freelance assassins led by Bin Ladin
Sadly all my family was a target
Silent genocide, we were lost and forgotten
Guess they had to solve other problems
So I pray for the fallen, gotta pay homage
Sorry, this is all I can do
Tell the world what's happening with all the evil man do
I can understand you
We carry different names but the language is the same
We communicate the same pain, no one can entrap you
I’m onlooking a mountain, singing from the heavens above

No one can bring you down
