Home for All
The world is big and wide, full of things to enjoy.
Imaginary lines tell us where we belong, but birds don't know about county lines.
They fly wherever the wind blows.
The rivers run through the plains without hesitation, taking water to every nation.
Imaginary lines don't slow down our wonder for the big wide world, and the people in it.
How lucky are we to see the world with wonder?
Without limitations, we love and explore.
Without limitations, we stay curious about all creatures in this world, unique in every way yet the same deep in our bones.
In a world full of wonder, we dream of an earth where lines are just in the mind, not in our souls.
A world that feels like home to all.
Imaginary lines tell us where we belong, but birds don't know about county lines.
They fly wherever the wind blows.
The rivers run through the plains without hesitation, taking water to every nation.
Imaginary lines don't slow down our wonder for the big wide world, and the people in it.
How lucky are we to see the world with wonder?
Without limitations, we love and explore.
Without limitations, we stay curious about all creatures in this world, unique in every way yet the same deep in our bones.
In a world full of wonder, we dream of an earth where lines are just in the mind, not in our souls.
A world that feels like home to all.
