Lyrics
When you feel wind blowing
Expressing awareness of the wind's presence
But it doesn't clean your head
Wind not providing mental clarity
When there are tanks at the horizon
Awareness of threatening tanks on the horizon
And they're coming to erase your land
Anticipation of the tanks erasing the land
If only they could've heard our words
Desire for the words to be heard by others
If only they could've heard the words of a mother
Emphasizing the importance of a mother's words
These dirty things would have never existed
Asserting that negative things wouldn't exist if heard
This shame would've never come through our minds
Regret over shameful thoughts coming through minds
Will I belong to you?
Questioning ownership or belonging in a wrong world
In a world completely wrong?
Expressing uncertainty about belonging in a distorted world
Will I belong to you?
Repetition of the question regarding belonging
I don't know if I can be such strong
Uncertainty about having the strength to belong
Don't you know that beauty lies in freedom?
Highlighting beauty in the freedom of choice
The sacred freedom to choose
Emphasizing the sanctity of the freedom to choose
Even to become a slave but
Accepting even the choice to be a slave but not under compulsion
Not if you're compelled to
Rejecting forced servitude
Freedom to choose your clothes (choose your clothes)
Specifically addressing freedom to choose clothing
Freedom to decide what to learn (what to learn)
Pointing out the freedom to decide what to learn
Freedom to respect your body (ah ah ah)
Emphasizing the freedom to respect one's body
Freedom to decide whom to love
Underlining the freedom to choose whom to love
Will I belong to you? (To you)
Reiteration of the belonging question in a loveless world
In a world without love
Expressing uncertainty about belonging in a loveless world
Will I belong to you? (To you)
Repeating the question about belonging
I don't know if I can be so wrong
Uncertainty about being wrong in belonging
Maybe they're afraid
Suggesting fear from others due to perceived strength
Of our strength
Speculating on the source of fear being strength
Maybe they're afraid
Reiteration of fear, now associated with the soul
Of our soul
Linking fear to the strength of the soul
So close to Mother Earth
Emphasizing proximity to Mother Earth
Earth
Repetition of "Earth" emphasizing connection
Mother Earth
Direct reference to Mother Earth
Earth
Repetition of "Earth" intensifying the connection
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressive vocalization indicating emotion
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Continuation of emotional vocalization
Just listen to the voice
Encouraging the act of listening to the voice of Mother Earth
Of Mother Earth
Final emphasis on the source of the voice as Mother Earth
