Roots In a Soil Not My Own

from A Peace That Destroys by Domestikwom

/

lyrics

We’re settled nomads
Fidget in place
Persecuted by both sides
But we’ve found our space

We’ve been able to put down roots in a soil not our own
We’ve fed our families, worked our hands down to the bone
We do not fight, we turn our cheeks as best we can
Please leave us alone and we will work your land

The spirit of Münster
Long left behind
The terrors beyond us
We are not entwined

We’ve spent so long in place and yet we are apart
For centuries our culture unchanged from the start
We hold our faith close in the face of enemies
Non-violence is the path to everlasting peace.

The world outside means us harm
But here we can work our farms
Rage and lust surround our fields
Lord God to you…. We kneel
