Here I am
Walking slow
In the sun
Letting go

Scarlet threads
Entire nations built-
Forged in cruelty

It's far from ideal
It's far from
It's far from ideal
It's far from

You, ill-deserved
For who I am: an empire
Woman-lived
Woman-loved
Carried sea
Carried sun

It's far from ideal
It's far from
It's far from ideal
It's far from
It's far from ideal
It's far from
It's far from ideal
It's far from
