Blue needs no charter to marble the veins
Green needs no ocean garner its name
Night needs no favour and weather no shame
Storms need no shoulders to carry their rain

So neither do I need a witness to nod and agree
If I see they mountains, they must see me

The earls need titles, pastors need men
Authors need stories more than stories need them
Nations need children to rise and defend
And statues an pledges and anthems, I guess

So neither do I need a witness or a reason to please
If I see they mountains, they must see me
If proof is as much of a blanket as naked belief
If I see they mountains, they must see me
