Stay, I Pray You

How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachman, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye

To bridge and river, forest and waterfall
Orchard, sea, and sky
Harsh and sweet, and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die

How to break the tie?
We have shed our tears and shared our sorrows
Though the scars remain and tears will never dry
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die

Never to return
Finally breaking free
You are all I know
You have raised me
How to turn away?
How to close the door?
How to go where I have never gone before?

How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachman, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye

Harsh and sweet, and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
I'll bless my homeland
I'll bless my homeland
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
