Our village is old; our people are ancient, flowering on solid rock
Opus for Oprah

Our village is old;
our people are ancient,
flowering on solid rock
still warm at the heart we hold.

We flow around all obstacles,
embrace each soul that's chosen us,
stand up to fortune and misfortune
impervious as rock,
those stones that cry out in joy or weep
to melt their core.

We are old;
our village is older.
Our people?
Ancient as rock.
