O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art,
Ah, ah, ah...
In your hues, my every limb immersed,
In your hues, my every limb immersed,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art.

Empty hands, I come to your door,
to your door, Mother,
to your door,
Offering tears, my only store,
Tears I bring,
Tears I bring.
Life's small boat, by tempests bound,
Life's small boat, by tempests bound,
Who but you, my haven found?
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art,
In your hues, my every limb immersed,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art.

Weary now, my tiny feet, Mother,
tiny feet, Mother,
tiny feet,
Filled by the poor's bowl, a hopeful tether,
Bowl with grace, Mother,
Bowl with grace,
If from your door, I turn away,
If from your door, I turn away,
Orphaned in the world, I'll sway,
Mother, orphaned, I'll be.
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art,
In your hues, my every limb immersed,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
To beg from Mother, a daughter's quest,
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art.
O Light dweller, Mountain's heart,
O Lion's grace, with generous art.
