Around the river bend

My country, my home, the place where I roam.
The sun is bright shining down on the river below
Where the wattle trees like to grow
The place of the no man's home
A rock, a river, a tree
That’s all that surrounds thee
The leaves flowing free, covering up the tracks of those who haunt me
Sometimes I feel like a river
Calm and steady, a tide of emotions
