The poem

The river carries every name

we whispered to its shore;

it travels on, but in its song

we hear our home once more.

The meaning

Behind the words

This fictional demonstration explores the way a homeland remains present even after a person has left it. Replace this text with the genuine meaning and history of the work.

The lyrics

Full lyrics

Where the old water bends through the field,

I return in the hush of the rain.

Every mile that I carried away

brings the sound of your voice back again.
