Pieces of My Heart


Everywhere are pieces of me
Pieces of my heart
The farm we left
The homes we never see again
The fields I played in to train

Fields I played in to train

The childhood cut short by displacement
The toys I wanted to keep for me
The schools my siblings attended
My childhood sweetheart
The neighbors we miss
The lost innocence of my youth
The dream to return home
To build a motherland
I barely know
Home (Motherland)

The memory of civil war campaign
The ensued devastation
All the mysteries I can’t explain
And remain pieces of me
Lost! Missing!
All a long way gone
Pieces of my heart
I would love to find
