send back the uniforms
send back the generous reich
give us back to our lives
on the waving blue wild
and remove every mark
down to the waterline
and with your arms at your sides
turn homeward
over seas
over roads
over burning atolls
hurl your empire's crown
back in the heart
of the waves
rber im lok jiktok ikerele
kot iban bok hartu jonan an elap ippa
relay relay the unquenchable song through the wire
where your horses alight
on the shores of our lives
the world blooms for the first time
