[Intro]
Footprints on the dirt, soft as prayers
A quiet breath beneath the wide sky
[Verse 1]
Bare feet meet the soil, the earth’s old hands
Holding the ache of days and harvests planned
I walk the furrows, tend the grain with grace
Carved by kin and memory, time-lapped in grace
[Chorus]
I walk this land with a mother's vow
To nurture roots and raise them somehow
Through drought and flood, I won’t let go
Gratitude roots deep, in this earth I know
[Verse 2]
Trees bend like old elders, listening well
Water glints a promise from a sunlit well
Children's laughter echoes in the corn and rye
A shelter made of soil, a steadfast sky
[Chorus]
I walk this land with a mother's vow
To nurture roots and raise them somehow
Through drought and flood, I won’t let go
Gratitude roots deep, in this earth I know
[Bridge]
Across the fields, I hear a patient tune
The soil sighs softly, a whispered monsoon
I cradle the dawn, I cradle the night
Promise to tend until the roots hold tight
[Chorus]
I walk this land with a mother's vow
To nurture roots and raise them somehow
Through drought and flood, I won’t let go
Gratitude roots deep, in this earth I know
[Outro]
Bare feet, bound to soil and sky
Care like water, love that won’t run dry
