Where Are You (Weyneek)?

You are wherever love flows

a mother who has given everything

to provide her home grown flowers

light and shelter that is always soothing

You are wherever strength is born

inside the heart of the oldest cedar tree

with a base that no earthquake can shake

and leaves that smell of a happy home

You are wherever kindness grows

amongst the ancient stars that flicker

above the streets of Beirut with affection

and below the warmth of the Mediterranean

You are wherever beauty decides to fly

soaring through the hills and villages

of Lebanon, always returning to nest

in the lap your children once slept in
