lyrics

far from my land of birth
ripped from the soil
& clutching a new earth
yearning to return home
i once, worked the land & toiled
fighting for a mountain top
& a thousand apricots
the beauty i still call home
flying a flag soaked in blood
of countless generations
who gave their very lives
for a piece of their home
so we set the table down
in a land not our own
we, fill our empty souls
with symbols of our dying home

i've lost my place
i've drifted too far
from the heart of Ar
culture all but gone
in strange new lands we now call home
eternally struggling to cope
with a lifetime of pain
and, still it remains
follows us into the unknown
my heart bleeds for the loss
eyes hurt from the tears
of a thousand years
still trying to find my home
they say home is where the heart lays
but my heart is absent
it was taken long ago
when i lost my sweet home

oh lord
what have we done?
lost and on the run
shielded from the sun
oor ess hayastan?
i can't find my way home
der asdvadz
abandoned everyone
my people in ruins
victims on the run
daughters and sons
let's find our way home.
