Motherland Tab

    ________________
   / Heather Nova  /  I think this song is about this girl imagining her life
  / Motherland    /  with the person, which she is so deeply in love with.
 / Redbird       /  She tells that she would happily give away her life just
/_______________/  to be with her love... that is some kind of a declaration!

     If I could keep you underneath my wing
                                   
     The sky above you, safe from everything
                      
     Under, under my wing

 To watch you breathing is all that I can do
 To see you smile, my only wish come true
 I'm living, living for you

                        
     The waves roll in, I help you swim
                
     You take my hand
                             
     And through the years and through the fears
                                    
     I'll be your rock, the motherland

 The bond is written, the animal in me
 I'd lay my life down, I'd give it happily
 I'd give it, I'd give it for you
