Salute Motherland

Motherland, whole existence l owe,
Motherland, perpetually, I salute...

As many times, I fell
Mother Earth held me in embrace
Pointed at horizon where sky meets earth 
Indicating that nothing is impossible 
Taught me to aim for Stars up in sky
Said, that's only way to rise after each fall

As many times, I tell
Inspires many to take difficulties head on
All answers are in Mother Earth
It holds Trees, ocean, mountain all alike
See how Earth takes abuse yet gives fruit
Be like Earth, create your unique tale 

Motherland, with all reverence I bow,
Motherland, perpetually, I prostate ...
