Take this heart of mine
And have it as your own.
For within this heart
Beats love
A thousand-fold.
This love I give you
Oh! Mother of the realm.
From you it came
And thus
It returns again.
A mother full of youthful laughter
A mother full of strength
A mother full of fun and flair
And beautiful red hair!
A mother who I’d search the desert plains for
And climb the highest hills
A mother whose dance and singing thrills.
If I could give the world
The sea and sky to you
I would.
If I could place your feet upon a shooting star above
I would.
I will try as days are here
to make you know this true
but in the meantime
I will hug you!
