Roots in the Steppe

[Verse 1] I dream of a land I never held I know it by name By blood in my veins A village of wood Old fences, smoke Hands in the cold And stories they spoke Caucasus wind On a far-off road My roots went first Then I was sold [Pre-Chorus] I picture the yards The horses at dawn The dogs at the gate The eagles above Turquoise on stone And grass to the knee I close my eyes And it knows me [Chorus] I dream of a land (our land) I dream of a land I miss it too hard Wild and vast My heart still turns I dream of a land Where my name was born [Verse 2] Somewhere there's forest Deep as a hymn And somewhere else The desert begins Clearings in gold Peaks in sight Cows in the green Where legends were born On trails unseen I grew up in pieces In someone else’s sky But I carry that earth Like a song inside [Pre-Chorus] I see the wells The dust on the trail The women in shawls The kids running wild I’ve never been there Still I can tell That land in my chest Has kept me well [Chorus] I dream of a land (our land) I dream of a land I miss it too hard Wild and vast My heart still turns I dream of a land Where my name was born [Bridge] If I go back one day Will it feel like home? Will the trees lean close Like they’ve known my soul? Oh, I was carried away Too small to know But something in me stayed By the steppe below [Final Chorus] I dream of a land (our land) I dream of a land I miss it too hard Wild and vast My heart still turns I dream of a land Where my name was born I dream of a land (our land) I dream of a land And I still belong
