Because you were the nation.

I wish to speak.

I am in the sea.
The sea is hearing me wail.

I am amongst the clouds.
The clouds are hearing me boast.

I am on the grass.
The grasses are hearing me howl.

I am with the children.
The children are hearing my stories.

I am with the cowboys.
The cowboys are hearing my woes.

I am with you.
You are hearing nothing.
