Chile Unfolds
Daphne Loubser
Lyrics
Chile, you run like a ribbon beside the sea,
So long and wild it reshapes me.
Desert up north, ice down south,
A thousand landscapes in one wide mouth.
Chile long where the earth unfolds,
From ocean mist to mountain cold.
Every turn, a different view,
Every mile, a world made new.
Atacama salt flats, open skies,
Sunset fire in the driest lights.
Torres del Paine peaks that rise,
Lakes like glass under traveling eyes.
Chile long where the earth unfolds,
From ocean mist to mountain cold.
Every turn, a different view,
Every mile, a world made new.
Valparaíso hills above the bay,
Color in the houses, sea below the day.
Then Patagonia wind starts to sing,
And my heart learns distance is a beautiful thing.
Chile long where the earth unfolds,
From ocean mist to mountain cold.
I came for maps and open roads,
I left with wonder in my bones.
