Where was the village?

When I was drowning in my tears:

Where was the village?

When my shoes was worn,

from the bruises of concrete,

and voided with fears:

Where was the village?

When my heart felt broken,

and God words was distant, far,

and unspoken: throughout my journey;

Throughout the years;

Tell me my sisters,

Tell me my brothers,

Where was the village?

When I felt alone, abandon,

Rejected: drowning in my tears.
