A Distant Sadness

A distant and familiar sadness calls to us
As if carried on the wind, like burning sand
Brothers and Sisters, away, you endure
Stranded on our own land
A memory etched into soul and skin
Leaves a scar that never heals
Our family is strong, but scattered
Across the stars and fields
We will not abandon you
We will not forget you
We will return for you

by Bear McCreary.

These lyrics made an appearance in Battlestar Galactica's episode Occupation and on the Season 3 Soundtrack, sung by Raya Yarbrough in Armenian.

I've not been able to stop listening for the last several hours--there's something intensely moving about this song and it's lyrics.
